Dear Maintainer,

gettext 1.0 [1] includes two new programs 'spit' and 'msgpre' which
require the 'requests' python module installed, available as part of the
'python3-requests' package. In my opinion, the utilities should be split
into a different package or the python module should be added as a
dependency.

severity 1144102 normal
thanks

Thanks for the report. I'm currently using Recommends to avoid the split,
so yes, I'll add the missing package to Recommends.

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
gettext, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.

A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is
attached.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 1144102@bugs.debian.org,
and the maintainer will reopen the bug report if appropriate.
