Hello!
Recently I cannot install gettext at all.
Although I have updated fink several times.
So I will always fail when fink update-all. And cannot install KDE
or almost anything.
The error message:

Any one has any suggestions?
Thank you!

It looks like you've somehow tagged gettext-dev as 'held'. Try
sudo dpkg --remove --force-hold gettext-dev
like it suggests above.
And when update-all works you should have fink-0.24.9, which is
better for issues with gettext-dev and libgettext3-dev (not with the
one you experienced, though)
