Confirmed: I cloned a new coreutils git image, and ran bootstrap, on 14.04:
(...) ./bootstrap: autopoint --force sh: 1: build-aux/git-version-gen: not found /usr/bin/m4:configure.ac:451: cannot open `m4/cu-progs.m4': No such file or directory autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 autopoint: *** Missing version: please specify in configure.ac through a line 'AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION(x.yy.zz)' the gettext version the package is using autopoint: *** Stop. Interestingly, my usual coreutils git image survives a bootstrap. I am guessing it is because it was originally cloned & bootstrapped before the problem appeared in gettext. This issue was originally reported on upstream coreutils; Pádraig's work pointed to the issue (and thank you for opening this bug, BTW). Probably also affects Debian, except Jessie and Sid (already on 0.18.3.2). for reference: this is Coreutils upstream bug 16530 coreutils-bugs thread: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2014-04/msg00102.html ** Changed in: gettext (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: gettext (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1311895 Title: 0.18.3.1 can fail when tracing due to missing files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gettext/+bug/1311895/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
