[Ltib] Cannot build e2fsprogs using ./ltib --force

[James E. Chargin Jr.]

I'm building for the 8513erdb, on Ubuntu 7.10.

Previous attempts to build via ltib have succeeded.

Out of curiosity, I ran ltib with the --force option. Now, 
e2fsprogs-1.34 will not build. The only way I can get a successful build 
is by excluding e2fsprogs, which is not acceptable for the long term.

The following is among the output generated during the build failure

I think the failing line seems to want to call msgfmt, which should be a 
part of the gettext package. I've got gettext installed and when I 
previously ran ltib without --force, it built successfully.

What am I missing here, or what should I try to get this working as 
expected?

Thanks,
Jim
