Description Sebastien Bacher 2007-03-01 15:19:29 UTC 
with intltool 0.35.5 when running intltool-update from a po directory:

$ intltool-update -p

 *** The intltool-extract script wasn't found!
 *** Without it, intltool-update can not generate files.


That's because the new code uses does "if (! -x "$EXTRACT")" with EXTRACT="intltool-extract", or the command is not copied to the po directory
Comment 1 Danilo Segan 2007-03-02 16:52:00 UTC 
Fixed in trunk.

This was introduced with a fix for bug #399476.  I added a call to the command with system() instead of just using "-x" operator, and check for exit status.

Since intltool gets most usage through package building, this is harder to notice, but it breaks completely for translators who don't have INTLTOOL_EXTRACT defined.
