I think this indicates a problem in the upstream autotools support, and it might be better to try to fix that instead of adding what seems like a workaround that might end up causing problems too due to the (silenced) version mismatch. I don't see the gettext version in the repo yet, but perhaps you could try whether the attached patch fixes the above issue (and potentially similar ones too). The problem with AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION is that it requires an exact version (from the autpoint gettext archive.dir.tar.xz) while AM_GNU_GETTEXT_REQUIRE_VERSION requires at least the specified version but will pull in the latest available, which in our case should in theory match the one used for the autoreconf. (For upstream submission, depending on the version requirements, you might want to have both, for backward compatibility reasons, for an example of this see <https://git.dpkg.org/cgit/dpkg/dpkg.git/tree/configure.ac#n33>.) Thanks, Guillem
