Hi, Santiago. I was having a similar problem when upgrading from testing to sid. After purging gettext-el and reinstalling, problem completely dissapeared. I cannot even reproduce it when upgrading to 0.18.1.1-6 after installing stable and testing packages, but have a clue about what may be happening.

Links are already created in first run, so second run complains and fails. Indeed I think that my problem appeared when upgrading gettext-el together with emacs-snapshot. I'd consider either using 'ln -sf' to create those symlinks (my preferred choice) or check for its presence before creating them.
