Maybe some > file dates in the Debian package got messed up and the Makefile now > thinks it has to regenerate the configure script? autoconf -I is run in the preview subdirectory, after calling "make install-el". This is the listing in the directory before the postinst is run: # ls --time-style=full-iso -lt usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/auctex/preview/ total 352 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2006-01-21 14:49:55.000000000 +0000 latex -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5051 2006-01-21 14:49:53.000000000 +0000 Makefile.in -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 183 2006-01-21 14:49:53.000000000 +0000 auto.el -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 124 2006-01-21 14:49:53.000000000 +0000 auto.el.in -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6997 2006-01-21 14:49:53.000000000 +0000 configure.ac -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 125852 2006-01-21 14:49:53.000000000 +0000 preview.el -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21770 2006-01-21 14:49:53.000000000 +0000 prv-emacs.el -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4900 2006-01-21 14:49:53.000000000 +0000 prv-install.el -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28089 2006-01-21 14:49:53.000000000 +0000 prv-xemacs.el -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 134903 2006-01-21 14:49:52.000000000 +0000 configure So every file has the same age (probably that of the packaging). I'm not sure why make is trying to to remake configure - obviously "as new as" counts as "newer than", and it might well be that again this is a question of kernel 2.4 vs. 2.6. Anyway, this small patch fixes the autoconf problem: diff -ur auctex-11.81.orig/debian/rules.in auctex-11.81/debian/rules.in --- auctex-11.81.orig/debian/rules.in 2006-01-24 14:14:42.236917528 +0100 +++ auctex-11.81/debian/rules.in 2006-01-24 13:35:30.000000000 +0100 @@ -16,7 +16,7 @@ SHELL := /bin/bash INSTDIR := install -m 755 -d INSTPROG := install -m 755 -s -INSTDATA := install -m 644 +INSTDATA := install -p -m 644 INSTSCRIPT := install -m 755 STRIP := strip -R .note -R .comment After this, I get in the deb: $ ls -lt usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/auctex/preview/ total 352 -rwxr-xr-x 1 frank frank 134903 2006-01-24 13:43 configure drwxr-xr-x 2 frank frank 4096 2006-01-24 13:43 latex -rw-r--r-- 1 frank frank 183 2006-01-24 13:42 auto.el -rw-r--r-- 1 frank frank 5051 2006-01-24 13:42 Makefile.in -rw-r--r-- 1 frank frank 125852 2005-09-24 21:15 preview.el -rw-r--r-- 1 frank frank 6997 2005-08-18 10:39 configure.ac -rw-r--r-- 1 frank frank 21770 2005-07-11 23:54 prv-emacs.el -rw-r--r-- 1 frank frank 28089 2005-07-11 23:54 prv-xemacs.el -rw-r--r-- 1 frank frank 4900 2005-06-24 10:14 prv-install.el -rw-r--r-- 1 frank frank 124 2005-04-11 11:01 auto.el.in and it installs just fine. So together with the added dependency on "gs-gpl | gs" (or any other gs default, at Davide's discretion), this should fix the bug.
