Bug#1092224: galvani: FTBFS with gettext 0.23.x

[Santiago Vila]

Package: src:galvani
Version: 0.38-1
Severity: important
Tags: ftbfs trixie sid
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: gettext-0.23

Dear maintainer:

During a rebuild of all packages in unstable using gettext 0.23.1, which is
available in experimental, your package failed to build:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
make[4]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/po'
*** error: gettext infrastructure mismatch: using a Makefile.in.in from gettext version 0.20 but the autoconf macros are from gettext version 0.22
make[3]: *** [Makefile:248: stamp-po] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/po'
make[2]: *** [Makefile:521: all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
make[1]: *** [Makefile:432: all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
dh_auto_build: error: make -j1 returned exit code 2
make: *** [debian/rules:18: binary] Error 25
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary subprocess returned exit status 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If required, the full build log is available here:

Notes:

- Many packages may be fixed by using this in configure.in:

AM_GNU_GETTEXT_REQUIRE_VERSION([0.21])

(removing any existing AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION that may exist).

- This bug will be RC once gettext is uploaded for unstable, but
I still don't know when I will be able to do that. If you fix
this bug, it would help to have gettext in unstable sooner.

- If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use
reassign and add an affects on src:galvani, so that this is still
visible in the BTS web page for this package.

Thanks.
