automake @1.16.2_1 circular dependency on gettext

| Port: | gettext |
Description (last modified by randomshinichi (Andrew Chiw))
gettext needs automake to compile, but installing automake installs gettext.
This further breaks other packages, like watch @3.3.16 (sysutils), which was what I was trying to install originally.
System: Leopard PowerPC 10.5.8

port install gettext worked, I might be wrong about this ticket.

I am not certain what the problem is here. autoconf has had a dependency on gettext for 5 years at least. gettext does not and cannot have a dependency on autoconf for that reason. It should not be trying to use it.
In your log I see:
:info:configure checking build system type... powerpc-apple-darwin9.8.0 :info:configure ./configure: line 4745: printf %s\n: command not found :info:configure ./configure: line 4751: AMDEPBACKSLASH: command not found :info:configure ./configure: line 4752: AMDEP_FALSE: command not found :info:configure ./configure: line 4753: AMDEP_TRUE: command not found :info:configure ./configure: line 4754: AMTAR: command not found :info:configure ./configure: line 4755: AM_BACKSLASH: command not found :info:configure ./configure: line 4756: AM_DEFAULT_V: command not found :info:configure ./configure: line 4757: AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY: command not found :info:configure ./configure: line 4758: AM_V: command not found
plus a zillion similar errors that follow. Something is clearly going dreadfully wrong in the configure script on your system, but this is the first time I've heard this problem reported, and I know there are other users of MacPorts on Tiger and Leopard who must've been able to install gettext successfully since it's a dependency of so many other ports.

I guess I was wrong then. Please close this ticket.

I was originally trying to install watch when I ran into this error.
