Summary and Info:

The crappy /usr/bin/autopoint script, distributed with gettext, depends on cvs.

Steps to Reproduce:

echo 'AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION(0.15)' > configure.ac
autopoint

If you don't have cvs installed, you'll get:

autopoint: *** cvs program not found
autopoint: *** Stop.

Looking for this silly problem, I found reports on Debian (still in discussion):

and on gentoo (WONTFIX):
