well, krix is the author of the automake stuff, so he's who could reply,
but unfortunatelly he won't...

automake does not support having po files in a dir != $(topsrcdir)/po

a workaround would be to have a separete configure.ac for /src/pacman
and /lib/libalpm, too. but this is ugly

a better solution is what krix did, except that this way you need to
generate the .pot file manually

after sh autoclean.sh run
"intltool-update --pot --gettext-package=pacman" in /src/pacman/po and
it should be ok

of course the same true for /lib/libalpm/po :)

udv / greetings,
