There is a major difference between what Debian wants and what autopoint does. "autopoint --force" does *not* copy the gettext files from the latest gettext version, it copies the files from the exact gettext version in AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION. E.g. AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION([0.11.4]) also fixes the build since that's when AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION was added to gettext.m4, but the package will be built with the gettext files from 0.11.4 (released in 2002). This happened to work with older gettext versions where the gettext m4 macros were shipped in the global search path. Omitting AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION works, but uses the files from 0.23.1 (not the current version 0.26). The first question is whether this behaviour is wanted in Debian, or whether Debian package builds should use the latest version. cu Adrian
