The package fails to build because of a configure check in line 17717 for the string "^# INTLTOOL_MAKEFILE$" in po/Makefile.in. That file is empty. The error message says "po/Makefile.in.in was not created by intltoolize.", which IS existing and is a symlink to /usr/share/intltool/Makefile.in.in.

looks like the fix applied in src_prepare is not needed anymore. Could you remove it from your ebuild, and try that modified ebuild ?
I've tried that, with exactly same result. Can anyone tell my, why in the configure file the check runs against po/Makefile.in but the message tells that po/Makefile.in.in is missing?
A little push: this happens with _every_ version in portage. This is very annoying. Are there any suggestions to get rid of this porblem, any kind of workaround?
I wonder why that file is a symlink btw.
I don't know why exactly it is a symlink, but I think that is the way intltoolize works.
The most strange think is that I am unable to reproduce, and looks like there are no more duplicated reports :-|
This problem is still existing and still very annoying! Is there anyone who knows something about intltool(ize) and how it works?
could you rebuild intltool making sure it does not come from an overlay and try rebuilding gnome-desktop ?
I've made that a few times before. I've rebuilt libintl, intlfonts, intltool and gnome-desktop in all existing versions. The result is exactly the same. The configure script does not create and check the same file!
could you show the output of qfile intltool and ls -l ${S}/po of gnome-desktop (ie show where the link are pointing to)
qfile shows as expected: # qfile intltool dev-util/intltool (/usr/share/intltool) At the moment, none of the Makefile.in.in's are symlinks anymore. For every version I tried to install during the last few days, assuming diff's output, the file is an exakt copy of /usr/share/intltool/Makefile.in.in.
damn, I meant qlist, but whatever, if the files are not symlinks anymore, it shouldn't change anything. So, is po/Makefile.in.in still empty, does it contain said "INTLTOOL_MAKEFILE" marker ? Is po/Makefile.in existing just after unpacking the ebuild ?
OK, qlist makes more sense ;) # qlist intltool /usr/bin/intltool-merge /usr/bin/intltool-extract /usr/bin/intltool-update /usr/bin/intltoolize /usr/bin/intltool-prepare /usr/share/intltool/Makefile.in.in /usr/share/aclocal/intltool.m4 /usr/share/man/man8/intltool-extract.8.bz2 /usr/share/man/man8/intltool-update.8.bz2 /usr/share/man/man8/intltoolize.8.bz2 /usr/share/man/man8/intltool-merge.8.bz2 /usr/share/man/man8/intltool-prepare.8.bz2 /usr/share/doc/intltool-0.41.1/TODO.bz2 /usr/share/doc/intltool-0.41.1/README.bz2 /usr/share/doc/intltool-0.41.1/AUTHORS.bz2 /usr/share/doc/intltool-0.41.1/I18N-HOWTO.bz2 I've extracted the file gnome-desktop-2.30.2.tar.bz2 and there was an "po/Makefile.in.in" with the exactly same content as "/usr/share/intltool/Makefile.in.in". It's not the file Makefile.in.in which was empty, but the file against which the configure script make it's checks: "Makefile.in". # grep -B1 -A1 Makefile.in.in configure if ! grep "^# INTLTOOL_MAKEFILE$" "po/Makefile.in" > /dev/null ; then as_fn_error "po/Makefile.in.in was not created by intltoolize." "$LINENO" 5 fi After executing the configure script, and the error message about "Makefile.in", there are two new files: "Makefile.in" and "Makefile", both are empty.
This makes no sense, configure creates the Makefile.in file from the Makefile.in.in, and from what you say, Makefile.in.in is a valid intltool makefile file, so the file should not be empty in the end. Do you have anything installed in /usr/local that might be conflicting with portage installed packages ? I'm getting out of ideas here.
I neither have any selfcompiled packages in /usr nor in /usr/local. The only thing I've put there is a modified ebuild in a local overlay (/usr/local/portage/local/app-laptop/...). There is nothing I've modified in a way that could influence portage at all, this is my working laptop...
Could you retry with 2.32?
Oh yes! It finally works! I've not made a world update since this error last appeared, so nothing else has changed, just the version 2.32.1. What has changed?
Not sure anything really changed, must have been a local problem that got fixed by upgrading various packages involved in the build process. Thanks for your feedback.
