Dear maintainer: During a rebuild of all packages in unstable using gettext 0.26 (yet to be uploaded for Debian), this package failed to build. Below you will find the last part of the build log (probably the most relevant part, but not necessarily). If required, the full build log is available here: https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/gettext/build-logs/ I've written this page to explain how to reproduce the problem: https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/gettext/ This bug will be raised to important once gettext is uploaded for experimental, and RC once gettext is uploaded for unstable, but I still don't know when I will be able to do that. If you fix this bug, it would help to have gettext in unstable sooner. About the archive rebuild: The build was made on virtual machines from AWS, using sbuild and a reduced chroot with only build-essential packages. If you cannot reproduce the bug please contact me privately, as I am willing to provide ssh access to a virtual machine where the bug is fully reproducible. If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use reassign and add an affects on src:enca, so that this is still visible in the BTS web page for this package. Thanks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [...] debian/rules clean dh clean dh_clean debian/rules binary dh binary dh_update_autotools_config dh_autoreconf m4/libiconv.m4:53: warning: macro 'AM_ICONV' not found in library libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in '.'. libtoolize: copying file './ltmain.sh' libtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS, 'm4'. libtoolize: copying file 'm4/libtool.m4' libtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltoptions.m4' libtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltsugar.m4' libtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltversion.m4' libtoolize: copying file 'm4/lt~obsolete.m4' m4/libiconv.m4:53: warning: macro 'AM_ICONV' not found in library configure.ac:104: warning: The macro 'AC_HEADER_STDC' is obsolete. configure.ac:104: You should run autoupdate. ./lib/autoconf/headers.m4:663: AC_HEADER_STDC is expanded from... configure.ac:104: the top level configure.ac:106: warning: The macro 'AC_HEADER_TIME' is obsolete. configure.ac:106: You should run autoupdate. ./lib/autoconf/headers.m4:702: AC_HEADER_TIME is expanded from... configure.ac:106: the top level configure.ac:138: warning: The macro 'AC_TRY_LINK' is obsolete. configure.ac:138: You should run autoupdate. ./lib/autoconf/general.m4:2918: AC_TRY_LINK is expanded from... m4/typevar.m4:7: ye_CHECK_VAR_PROGRAM_INVOCATION_SHORT_NAME is expanded from... configure.ac:138: the top level configure:18446: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_ICONV If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.

tags 1126965 patch thanks Hi. This is the patch in the upstream github issue. (I see you are also upstream, so maybe releasing a new upstream version and then upgrading the Debian package may be preferred) Thanks.
Thank you, I will make a release soon. Regards, Syed Shahrukh Hussain.
Dear maintainer, I've prepared an NMU for enca (versioned as 1.21-1.1) and uploaded it to DELAYED/2. Please feel free to tell me if I should cancel it. Regards, -rt
