If I try to emerge net-dns/avahi-0.6.24-r2, upgrading from 0.6.24, the "configure" step fails with: checking for GNU gettext in libc... yes checking whether to use NLS... yes checking where the gettext function comes from... libc checking for intltool >= 0.35.0... awk: cmd. line:1: fatal: cannot open file `./intltool-update.in' for reading (No such file or directory) awk: cmd. line:1: fatal: cannot open file `./intltool-update.in' for reading (No such file or directory) found ./configure: line 28667: test: : integer expression expected configure: error: Your intltool is too old. You need intltool 0.35.0 or later. However I do have a suitable intltool installed: [I--] [ ] dev-util/intltool-0.37.1 (0) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 187780 [details] "emerge --info" output
Created attachment 187781 [details] "config.log" output from the failed build
Seems like intltool-0.37.1 provides that file whereas all newer versions in portage don't: # qfile -Cv intltool-update.in dev-util/intltool-0.37.1 (/usr/share/intltool/intltool-update.in)
As stated in the report above, that failure was with intltool 0.37.1 And I *do* have that file: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 31069 2009-01-20 17:48 /usr/share/intltool/intltool-update.in But configure appears not to be finding it, apparently because it's looking in ./ (wherever that points at the time) rather than /usr/share/intltool/.
Upgrading intltool to the current stable version (0.40.5), however, has fixed the problem. I'm guessing this is due to changes in /usr/share/aclocal/intltool.m4. Perhaps the dependency should be updated to a higher intltool version?
same here works with dev-util/intltool-0.40.5 on my hardened amd64 system.
I just encountered this on 3 stable systems at work. Could the intltool dep get updated, please?
