Package: gnome-common Version: 2.28.0-1 Severity: important Tags: patch File: /usr/bin/gnome-autogen.sh
Whilst trying to build a copy of yelp from git: Running automake-1.11... automake-1.11: unrecognized option `--force'. automake-1.11: Try `/usr/bin/automake-1.11 --help' for more information. This causes the build to fail. automake-1.9 doesn't have the --force option either. In fact, AFAICT, automake-1.7 doesn't even have this option. I've attached a patch to remove this option, since it doesn't seem like any reasonably recent version of automake supports it at all. Transcript: lakeview no % automake-1.11 --force automake-1.11: unrecognized option `--force'. automake-1.11: Try `/usr/bin/automake-1.11 --help' for more information. lakeview no % automake-1.9 --force automake-1.9: unrecognized option `--force' automake-1.9: Try `/usr/bin/automake-1.9 --help' for more information. lakeview no % automake-1.7 --force automake-1.7: unrecognized option `--force' automake-1.7: Try `/usr/bin/automake-1.7 --help' for more information. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnome-common depends on: ii autoconf 2.65-4 automatic configure script builder ii automake 1:1.11.1-1 A tool for generating GNU Standard ii gettext 0.17-10 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool 0.40.6-2 Utility scripts for internationali ii libtool 2.2.6b-2 Generic library support script ii pkg-config 0.22-1 manage compile and link flags for gnome-common recommends no packages. gnome-common suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 713 440 7475 | http://crustytoothpaste.ath.cx/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
