VLC 2.0.7 through 2.1.4 will not emerge because of an autopoint error:

Code:
>>> Failed to emerge media-video/vlc-2.0.7, Log file:

>>>  '/var/tmp/portage/media-video/vlc-2.0.7/temp/build.log'

 * Messages for package media-video/vlc-2.0.7:

 * Failed Running autopoint !
 *
 * Include in your bugreport the contents of:
 *
 *   /var/tmp/portage/media-video/vlc-2.0.7/temp/autopoint.out
 * ERROR: media-video/vlc-2.0.7::gentoo failed (prepare phase):
 *   Failed Running autopoint !
 *
 * Call stack:

 * S: '/var/tmp/portage/media-video/vlc-2.0.7/work/vlc-2.0.7'


Other posts have suggested re-installing gettext, however this is not successful. After reinstalling gettext, the same error occurs, and autopoint.out looks like this:

Code:
***** autopoint *****
***** PWD: /var/tmp/portage/media-video/vlc-2.0.7/work/vlc-2.0.7
***** autopoint --force

autopoint: *** Missing version: please specify in configure.ac through a line 'AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION(x.yy.zz)' the gettext version the package is using
autopoint: *** Stop.


I am not sure why reinstalling gettext didn't fix this. I also tried removing gettext and then reinstalling it, but it made no difference.

The emege errors/autopoin.out are all the same for versions 2.0.7 through 2.1.4.
Thank you for your help with this frustrating error.

Hi Drasica,

possibly only a problem of dev-perl/XML-Parser and eventually enough to remerge only this.

But cause lots of different trouble here the last time, you eventually have to do a perl-cleaner --reallyall.

If it fails, take a look into this, for a solution: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-987072-highlight-perl.html

Much success, Andy.

Thanks for your suggestions, but they did not change anything.

I reinstalled the XML Parser, and it made no difference. I then successfully ran the perl cleaner, and it also made no difference.
Finally, after both the XML Parser reinstall and the cleaner, I re-emerged gettext again, and it still made no difference. It is still an autopoint error every time, and it is still because autopoint cannot get the gettext version.
