Description Jasper St. Pierre (not reading bugmail) 2010-10-21 19:50:54 UTC 
Debian (and by extension, Ubuntu) recently split autopoint
into its own package from gettext.

*** Bug 634364 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 3 Owen Taylor 2010-11-09 17:00:30 UTC 
This is blocking on figuring out when autopoint was split out in version terms,
and if it was recent adding conditionality.
Comment 4 Milan Bouchet-Valat 2010-11-09 17:03:56 UTC 
autopoint has been a separate package in Debian since Squeeze (testing), and in Ubuntu since Maverick (10.10). So we need something separate to support Ubuntu Lucid (10.04) at least - or drop support for Lucid in the script, but...
Comment 5 Owen Taylor 2010-11-15 00:44:59 UTC 
Is Debian at a point where all people with an interest in new stuff are using testing and stable is for servers only? Or are we likely to encounter people compiling GNOME Shell with stable? What version of GNOME is in stable?

For Ubuntu, I don't mind just updating our requirement to 10.10 to simplify - I get the impression that people upgrade pretty quickly after releases.

Use apt-cache show to fix it.

Looks like apt-cache show will return a code of 100 if it can't find the package.

Whoops, uploaded the wrong patch.

Uploaded the wrong patch *again*.
Comment 9 Owen Taylor 2010-11-15 13:08:31 UTC 
Review of attachment 174482 [details] [review]:

Looks good except for the subject and body of commit message. Subject should be something like:

 gnome-shell-build-setup.sh: conditionally check for autopoint on Debian/Ubuntu

Then the body should describe why we need a conditional check.
