Comment 3 for bug 577744

This bug was fixed in the package gettext - 0.17-11ubuntu1

---------------
gettext (0.17-11ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian (LP: #577744). Remaining changes:
    - Build Java components with gcj.
    - Throw away /usr/lib/gettext/gnu.gettext*; we don't need them.
    - gettext-tools/src/write-catalog.c:
      - Add missing "mode" parameter to fix FTBFS.
    - Use autoconf's preferred shell when invoking config.status.
    - Explicitly configure with --disable-csharp.
    - Keep gettext.jar in /usr/share/gettext instead of moving it to
      /usr/share/java.
  * Convert Ubuntu direct source changes to quilt patches (u01 and u02).

gettext (0.17-11) unstable; urgency=low

  * Enable java on all architectures, by using default-jdk.
    Thanks to Petr Salinger. Closes: #578602.

gettext (0.17-10) unstable; urgency=low

  * Switch to 3.0 (quilt) source format, 10 patches.
  * Create an autopoint package. Packages using autopoint should now
    build-depend on it and drop cvs if they don't use it directly.
    After packages have been updated, the autopoint script will actually
    be moved to the autopoint package. This procedure avoids breaking
    affected packages during the transition period.
  * gettext now recommends autopoint, not cvs.
  * Rewrite of README.Debian to match reality.
  * Added homepage.

gettext (0.17-9) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added several lintian overrides.
  * Do not ship empty directories in /usr/share/locale.
  * gettext-el: Update Depends to current emacs (emacs23).
  * Disable java for hurd-i386, kfreebsd-amd64 and kfreebsd-i386,
    as they don't have openjdk yet. Closes: #568390.
