Note that to do that, you'll need the following line in your /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ experimental main For users of other Debian-derived distros such as Ubuntu or Trisquel, I also recommend installing the automake-1.12 package from Debian experimental, but in that case it might be better to just download the deb file manually and install it via "dpkg -i <debfile>". http://packages.debian.org/experimental/all/automake/download > It shouldn't bring in any other bleeding-edge deps. Indeed, this 'automake' package has few dependencies and they are all very old, so it shouldn't bring in any other packages at all (assuming that you already had automake 1.11 installed). Mark
