I've uploaded gettext-0.10.35-2p1 to sourceware; after the mirrors pick
it up I'll make an official announcement.  The ONLY change:
  remove /usr/info/dir from the gettext tarball
so that it won't clobber a pre-existing file of the same name.  The
-2p1-src.tar.gz is just a copy of -2-src.tar.gz.

Remember to make a backup of your current /usr/info/dir BEFORE
installing this new package -- since setup UNISTALLS the previous
version it will *remove* /usr/info/dir....

To recreate a clobbered or missing /usr/info/dir, do this: for each base
info file (that is, cvs.info, not cvs.info-1, cvs.info-2 etc) run the
following command:

install-info --dir-file=/usr/info/dir  --info-file=/usr/info/foo.info
