Re: Bug#196648: gettext: duplicate line in macro causes gettext to fail utterly (fwd)

[Luke Schierer]

since i cannot duplicate this on my debian testing box which also seems 
to have gettext 0.12.1, you can close this bug, i ended up manually 
editing the file to remove the one line and it worked on my unstable 
box.
