`emerge --info` ?

Emerge --info output.

I'm not the original submitter, but enclosed is my emerge --info output.
I can reproduce the bug.

I strongly suspect this is caused by zh in LINGUAS...

Confirmed, dropping zh from linguas did not give any errors.

Bug is caused by this snippet from xscreensaver-4.22/aclocal.m4:

       AC_MSG_CHECKING(for catalogs to be installed)
       NEW_LINGUAS=
       for lang in ${LINGUAS=$ALL_LINGUAS}; do
         case "$ALL_LINGUAS" in
          *$lang*) NEW_LINGUAS="$NEW_LINGUAS $lang" ;;
         esac
       done
       LINGUAS=$NEW_LINGUAS
       AC_MSG_RESULT($LINGUAS)

ALL_LINGUAS contains zh_TW and zh_CN, but no zh.
WHen LINGUAS contains zh in the ebuild environment, *zh* matches zh_TW (or
zh_CN), and zh is added to CATALOGS.  This causes the failure.

aclocal.m4 is generated from various autoconf fragments.  This fragment comes
from gettext I believe.

Workaround: run autoreconf in the build sequence seems to fix the problem.
Or bug jwz to update his build environment (esp. gettext).

Created an attachment (id=74133) [edit]
Patch fix entering partially matching LINGUAS into CATALOGS

The enclosed patch fixes the problem.

Created an attachment (id=74134) [edit]
Updated ebuild.

This updated ebuild adds the linguas patch on top of the rest.

Fixed in 4.23, which goes stable today.

Confirmed closed on 4.23-r1 an amd64.

This problem appears again for xscreensaver-5.05

You should have opened a new bug, but luckily I picked it up from my mailbox.
The issue should be now fixed with 5.05, and it's going stable.
