I gave me an FTBFS (log attached).
That's configure.in being buggy. I quickly asked to a friend of mine (jrtc27) whom speaks autotools (I don't really), and in about 5 minutes he came up with https://paste.debian.net/890189/ Apparently this is a requirement since 2001: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=autoconf.git;a=commitdiff;h=e3e7e0a0afcbb870bec9a34d22fe0750393c40a1;hp=aa8dfa178d82db0fae8f5b0692f74e33763a263d Unless I'm missing something, this also means upstream did not run autoheader in the last 15+ years?! I suggest you bring that upstream, not being able to run autoreconf -f -i on a autotools project is IMHO a bug that ought to be fixed. > Not sure if I did the steps in wrong order, but this should be rather > independent of dh compat level (step 5) and configure call.

Doesn't seem to matter in this case, though of course that's a bug. -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`. more about me: https://mapreri.org : :' : Launchpad user: https://launchpad.net/~mapreri `. `'` Debian QA page: https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=mattia `-
