Emerge supersed fails (fluxbox dependency)

[frodo]

I'm trying to get fluxbox installed. One of the dependencies is supersed, but it fails to emerge. I have also tried to do an "emerge supersed" by itself. Each time I get the same error:

Further research leads me to believe that gettext is boogered up. After an emerge rsyn, I upgraded gettext and it deleted libintl.h.

I solved the problem (for me), by adding USE="-nls" to my make.conf file.

Thanks for posting the workaround, as I just had the same issue.
