Description of problem:
Any attempts to build the fetchmail-6.2.5-6.el4.2 package without the gettext-devel rpm installed results in the error:

+ make
cd . && /bin/sh /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/fetchmail-6.2.5/missing --run aclocal-1.6
aclocal: configure.in: 72: macro `AM_GNU_GETTEXT' not found in library
make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 1
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.44609 (%build)

The error goes away when the gettext-devel rpm is installed.  Accordingly, the gettext-devel package should be listed as a BuildPrereq in the fetchmail.spec file.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fetchmail-6.2.5-6.el4.2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -e gettext-devel
2. rpmbuild --rebuild fetchmail-6.2.5-6.el4.2.src.rpm

  

Actual Results:  Assuming that all the other BuildPrereqs of fetchmail are installed on the system, rpmbuild begins building the package and fails with the error message above.

Expected Results:  One normally expects rpmbuild to succeed if all the build prerequisites are satisfied.  Either the build prerequisites must be expanded to include gettext-devel or the build process must be rearranged so that gettext-devel is not required.
