Package: gnulib
Version: 20140202+stable-2
Severity: normal

Dear maintainer. I ran into compilation problems for a program (Star traders http://www.zap.org.au/software/trader/) that has a bootstrap script that uses gnulib-tool before make is run. However I got the following error message when running make:

*** error: gettext infrastructure mismatch: using a Makefile.in.in from gettext version 0.19 but the autoconf macros are from gettext version 0.18

I tested using making a symlink from /usr/bin/gnulib-tool to the newest gnulib-tool from source, and this makes the error go away.

Probably relevant entry in upstream gnulib changelog:

2015-04-25 [...]
    In build-aux/po, copy Makefile.in.in and
    remove-potcdate.sin from $GETTEXT.  This fixes a version mismatch
    between Makefile.in.in and the gettext-runtime m4 files.



Regards,
Anders Jonsson
