Description Fedora Release Engineering 2025-07-30 08:25:44 UTC 
axel failed to build from source in Fedora rawhide/f43

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=135158873


For details on the mass rebuild see:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_43_Mass_Rebuild
Please fix axel at your earliest convenience and set the bug's status to
ASSIGNED when you start fixing it. If the bug remains in NEW state for 8 weeks,
axel will be orphaned. Before branching of Fedora 44,
axel will be retired, if it still fails to build.

Comment 4 Frédéric Bérat 2025-08-05 09:29:36 UTC 
This should be fixed by adapting the minimum gettext version in configure.ac:


axel_2.17.14-2_amd64-20250717T135342.717Z
BH: Fails due to AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION
configure.ac has AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION([0.11.1]), but AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION 
was only introduced in 0.11.3.
Debian needs to change that line.
