gettext provides file /usr/bin/autopoint.

Below is a small part of autopoint:

# The requirement that the user must have the CVS program available is not
# a severe restrictions, because most of the people who use autopoint are
# users of CVS.
#
# Check availability of the CVS program.
(cvs -v) >/dev/null 2>/dev/null || func_fatal_error "cvs program not found"


That would suggest gettext should RDEP on cvs


Reproducible: Always

I think gettext needs no cvs available for the most part of its work.
A RDEPEND pointing to cvs would pull cvs into system-set, as gettext ist part of it.
