Package: autoconf2.13
Version: 2.13-54
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
autoconf --force works only with 2.50+. Kurt Roeckx uncovered this
while testing unreleased libtool:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-libtool/2005-12/msg00002.html
I'm putting a fix into libtool's test suite (give the archives a day for
it to show up), but adding this patch to the wrapper should be a good
idea, too. Applies to unstable version as well.
Cheers,
Ralf
