The reason must be that in your configure.ac or subordinate .m4 file,
you have a declaration
  AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION([0.17])

If you want to update your macros and po/Makefile.in.in to version 0.18.1
the recommended way to do so is by use of the 'gettextize' program.

Recall the different purposes of these programs:

* autopoint
  Copies the gettext infrastructure that has been omitted from version
  control.

* gettextize
   The `gettextize' program is an interactive tool that helps the
   maintainer of a package internationalized through GNU `gettext'. ...
   As a migration tool, for upgrading the GNU `gettext' support in a
   package from a previous to a newer version of GNU `gettext'.
