--- Begin Message ---Hello. I found four packages in Debian which fail to build with gettext 1.0, the bugs are available here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/[email protected];tag=gettext-1.0 After filing those bugs, I received the reply below from Andreas Metzler, maintainer of p11-kit, one of the affected packages. So: Is this a bug in p11-kit or a bug in gettext? Thanks. ----- Forwarded message from Andreas Metzler <[email protected]> ----- Date: Sun, 24 May 2026 14:09:14 +0200 From: Andreas Metzler <[email protected]> To: Santiago Vila <[email protected]>, [email protected] Subject: Re: Bug#1137421: p11-kit: FTBFS with gettext 1.0 On 2026-05-23 Santiago Vila <[email protected]> wrote: > Package: src:p11-kit > Version: 0.26.2-2 [...] > During a rebuild of all packages in unstable using gettext 1.0 > (yet to be uploaded for Debian), this package failed to build.

This can be probanly worked around excatly like gnutls did in https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/commit/38e5fb6613666df96cc5851ab32d4db1313ffd02 with quoting: AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION([0.19]) -m4_ifdef([AM_GNU_GETTEXT_REQUIRE_VERSION],[ +m4_ifdef([AM_GNU_GET][TEXT_REQUIRE_VERSION],[ but isn't this an autopoint bug? cu Andreas -- "You people are noisy," Nia said. I made the gesture of agreement. ----- End forwarded message -----
