That used to work, but it seems to no longer work in the new version – I can fix the build with a simple symlink: ln -s /path/to/apt/doc/po /path/to/apt/build/doc/po As I don't see what the apt buildsystem could be doing wrong in po4a call and because it worked before I am reassign to po4a to fix that regression – especially as we are in freeze. If there is something wrong with the call on the other hand it would be nice if we could get some details on what to do instead and how to achieve compatibility with "old" and "new" po4a. Thanks Martin for picking up po4a development btw even if the timing is a bit unfortunate for (accidental?) uploads to unstable… Best regards David Kalnischkies
