The next upstream version of make fixes this, as you note: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/make.git/commit?id=f222b19158a91b121af29a6a8eb5d74aa591078a I suppose that's technically backportable. However, perhaps for now the most expedient thing to do would be to build-depend on automake1.10 as the preferred alternative, since that seems to be the newest version in the archive older than 1.13. + * Temporarily prefer automake1.10, as the newest automake currently + available in the archive before 1.13; this version of make still + requires de-ANSI-fication support (closes: #709908). diff -u make-dfsg-3.81/debian/control make-dfsg-3.81/debian/control --- make-dfsg-3.81/debian/control +++ make-dfsg-3.81/debian/control @@ -7,13 +7,13 @@ XSBC-Original-Maintainer: Manoj Srivastava <[email protected]> Standards-Version: 3.8.3.0 Homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/make/ -Build-Depends: autoconf, automake | automaken, autopoint, file +Build-Depends: autoconf, automake1.10 | automaken, autopoint, file Package: make Section: devel Thanks, -- Colin Watson [[email protected]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
