Ah, I see, my packages list was two days out of date, which is why I
couldn't install it.
This is still really unappealing and quite annoying, since it means that
lintian won't work on sarge without a lot of hacking; that makes
resurrecting lintian.debian.org before the etch release more difficult.
Isn't there some other option?
If not, are you absolutely certain that this version of gettext will make
it into etch?
