Hi Matthias, Thanks for your post in January (https://lists.debian.org/52d81606.4030...@debian.org). Next time, please consider adding such an URL near the top of the bug report instead of expecting people to remember that the bug they see in April with a package version from November is related to a mass filing proposed in January… I indeed noted that the patch sent uses autoreconf instead of dh_autotools-dev, but your email states: “The package fails to build on ppc64el (powerpc64le-linux-gnu), because the config.{guess,sub} files are out of date” The only mention of libtool.m4 is, further down in the message: “After the build on any architecture, and before a clean, a grep for powerpc64le in the configure, aclocal.m4 and/or libtool.m4 file(s) should print some lines. It is not enough to just update the config.guess and config.sub files.” I thus disagree with you that the issue with libtool.m4 it is “exactly mentionned in the bug report”. Please understand that for a bug report on an outdated package, I did not want to make a fresh build just to figure out. Nevertheless, with these mass filings where we add en masse the same option to many packages, I wonder if we are doing something wrong. Don't we use debhelper and CDBS to have reasonable defaults ? Are there more packages that fail to build after autoreconf, than packages that fail to build without ?
