Bugzilla Bug 69473

When compiling orbit on a embedded profile gettext was not included as a
dependancy when I tried to compile orbit. This resulted in a compile failure.

Placeing gettext as a dependancy of orbit will correct this.

can you post what version of orbit, the error it gives, and your emerge info?

0.5.7

Confirmed, it seems that nls isn't optional at all in 0.5.17. I have removed
the nls USE, made the gettext dependency permanent, and removed the checking
for nls in src_compile().

I'm not revision bumping this for several reasons,
o)  users who had gettext installed will have orbit-0.5.17 installed, and see
no difference if they were to install a revised version
o)  those users who didn't have gettext installed wouldn't be able to emerge
orbit-0.5.17 anyway - there's no benefit to them for a revision.
o)  a revision would leave this broken version in place - we don't want that.

Fixed, thanks for your report.
