Package: autoconf Version: 2.59a-3 Severity: wishlist It's not easy to invoke autoconf 2.5x reliably in scripts. Currently a package may build-depend on autoconf, but if you run "autoconf2.50", it might not exist. OTOH, if you run "autoconf" it might be 2.13.
A script would need to do something like this: cd $(DEB_SRCDIR) && `which autoconf2.50 || which autoconf` If autoconf provided an autoconf2.50 binary regardless of wether autoconf2.13 is installed, this would help this problem without breaking backwards compat. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: kfreebsd-i386 (i386) Kernel: GNU/kFreeBSD 5.3+1-1 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Versions of packages autoconf depends on: ii debianutils 2.11.2 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii m4 1.4.2-1 a macro processing language ii perl 5.8.4-5+kbsd Larry Wall's Practical Extraction -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
