[gentoo-user] Gettext won't emerge for me

[Kevin O'Gorman]

When I try my usual update command
   emerge -aDvu world
it's trying to merge sys-devel/gettext-0.16.1 and failing.  The tail
end of the attempt looks like this:

Making all in misc

And I have emacs 21.4-r4 installed, but instead of
    /usr/share/emacs/site-list/site-gentoo
I have
    /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-gentoo.el
note the 'p' vs. the 't'

Well, no help there, but surprisingly I just
updated emacs and gettext after it, and everything went well.
I don't have /usr/share/emacs/site-list/site-gentoo, only
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-gentoo.el, btw.

So my copy of the ebuild or Makefile may be damaged.  I wonder:
1) how that slipped through
2) how I can fix it.

If that is the case, emerge --sync should fix your problems.

But I really doubt your case is the same as mine, I guess the problem is
somewhere else. Maybe you should try to see what package owns those
directories (equery might be handy here), where is the variable that
points to /usr/share/emacs/site-something set, what value is assigned to
it, how it is calculated,...

By the way, gettext has explicit support for emacs, you can
enable/disable it with USE="emacs" and USE="-emacs".
