A couple of days ago I spent a few hours sorting out the situation
with the AM_NLS macro, which had led gnome-chemistry-utils to FTBFS.
Essentially, in the %prep stanza, I added the new aclocal path to the
autoreconf command. There were a couple of other odd issues, i.e. the
path ./m4 getting added to that same command from somewhere and also
the message "autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext" appearing
regardless of the build succeeding or failing.
Anyway, as it is, it should go through the mass rebuild without any issues.
If you do apply any patches, could you please provide a link to any
build failures and/or suggest what might be required to fix things
that break?


Best regards,
A.
