I seem to have them both

address@hidden:~$ dpkg-query -L intltool
/.
/usr
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/intltool-extract
/usr/bin/intltool-merge
/usr/bin/intltool-prepare
/usr/bin/intltool-update
/usr/bin/intltoolize
[...]

and 

dpkg-query -L gettext
/.
/usr
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/gettextize
/usr/bin/msgattrib
/usr/bin/msgcat
/usr/bin/msgcmp
/usr/bin/msgcomm
/usr/bin/msgconv
/usr/bin/msgen
/usr/bin/msgexec
/usr/bin/msgfilter
/usr/bin/msgfmt
[...]

What is baffling to me is that it says

and then later

before finally barfing...
