Why do you have an older version of automake? what version do you have installed? /usr/bin/automake is controlled by the alternatives system, so just asking to be sure that a particular version of automake is installed isn't actually sufficient to ensure that (for example) /usr/bin/automake doesn't ultimately point back to automake1.11 :/ Can you suggest a patch that would have helped you to avoid the problem? --dkg
