Is that really an advantage over the current situation?
For the record: The next upload of gettext for unstable (whenever it will be) will move gettext.sh to /usr/share/gettext and will have /usr/bin/gettext.sh as a symlink to it. Whether that's temporary or definitive, I don't know yet, but it would not be wise to do more than that at this point. The author usually fixes bugs in a portable and elegant way, so I hope he and the people who maintain the FHS agree on the right location for gettext.sh. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
