Package: aptitude
Version: 0.2.15.9-4
Severity: serious

Hi,

Your package is currently failing to build on 64 bit arches
because of an old/broken configure check for gettext.  configure
shows:
checking for GNU gettext in libc... no
checking for GNU gettext in libintl... no
checking whether to use NLS... yes
checking where the gettext function comes from... included intl directory

While it should say that it's in libc.

>From config.log:
configure:9300: checking for GNU gettext in libc
configure:9324: g++ -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.cc -lapt-pkg -lcurses  >&5
conftest.cc: In function 'int main()':
conftest.cc:96: error: cast from 'char*' to 'int' loses precision


This should fix it:
aclocal-1.4
automake-1.4
autoconf

Note that you might have to take care of timestamp skew issues
when doing that, please take a look at autotools-dev's README.Debian.


PS: It might be a good time to upgrade to a more recent version
of automake too.


Kurt
