Source: gnulib
Version: 20140202+stable-3
Severity: normal
Hi,
Current version is quite old (2014) and some other packages seems to
require a newer version (see enchant bug #861141)
Would it be possible to upgrade to a newer version?
Kind regards,
Laurent Bigonville

This should be fixed with the upload of new gnulib snpashot.
