Hi, for a new package (smalt [1]) I needed to patch a Makefile.am. To bring this patch into effect I was using dh_autoreconf and when doing so I needed to do some additional patches to keep recent automake happy. The actual patch can be seen here[2]. While this creates a set of valid Makefile.im which enabled me to build the executable it leads to a file test/Makefile which tries to call `python /bin/bash ...` which surely fails since /bin/bash is just no Python file.
Currently I have disabled the patches and dh_autoreconf in SVN and use a quick-n-dirty solution which fixes the Makefile in debian/rules right before the test is running. However, I would like to give upstream a helping hand to fix the automake stuff properly since otherwise he will probably keep on using his old automake stuff and we remain with the lintian issues W: smalt source: outdated-autotools-helper-file config.guess 2009-11-20 W: smalt source: outdated-autotools-helper-file config.sub 2009-11-20 Any idea how the test suite can be properly created?
