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:lrzsz, so that this is still
visible in the BTS web page for this package.

Thanks.

Changes:
 lrzsz (0.12.21rc-1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Fix FTBFS with gettext 0.26 / modern autopoint. configure.in used
     AM_GNU_GETTEXT without any version declaration, so autopoint assumed the
     obsolete gettext-0.10.32 infrastructure and aborted autoreconf. Add new
     patch gettext_require_version.diff declaring
     AM_GNU_GETTEXT_REQUIRE_VERSION([0.19.8]), closes: #1126976, #1136751.
   * The modern gettext infrastructure pulled in that way needs po/Makevars
     and po/LINGUAS, which upstream never shipped. Add both via new patch
     po_makevars_linguas.diff (LINGUAS lists "de" to keep the German
     catalogue).
   * Make "debian/rules clean" idempotent. dh_autoreconf installs automake's
     maintainer-mode rebuild rules, so a second build re-ran automake during
     "make clean" and failed (automake >= 1.16 rejects the old configure.in).
     Neutralise ACLOCAL/AUTOCONF/AUTOMAKE/AUTOHEADER for that clean invocation.
   * Also remove the configure/config.status output (Makefile, config.h,
     config.status, sub-directory Makefiles, Specfile, systype, ...) in the
     clean target. "make clean" left these behind, so a rebuild aborted in
     dpkg-source -b with unexpected changes to the 3.0 (quilt) tree.
   * Fix the remaining C compiler warnings via new patch compiler_warnings.diff:
     a real -Wformat= bug in src/lsyslog.c (int passed for %ld) and the
     -Wunused-result warnings for write()/system()/vasprintf() in src/.
