Package: automake1.8
Version: 1.8.5-3
Severity: important

If you have a .texi target in your project, "make distcheck" will try to
build $(srcdir)/stamp-vti.  It does this after earlier rules have made
the source directory read-only.  However, the rule tries to create
$(srcdir)/stamp-vti.  This example is from the findutils-4.2.18
distribution (but using automake1.8 to 'autoreconf -i' because the
findutils distribution is normally not built with automake 1.8):-

$(srcdir)/stamp-vti: find.texi $(top_srcdir)/configure
        @(dir=.; test -f ./find.texi || dir=$(srcdir); \
        set `$(SHELL) $(srcdir)/mdate-sh $$dir/find.texi`; \
        echo "@set UPDATED $$1 $$2 $$3"; \
        echo "@set UPDATED-MONTH $$2 $$3"; \
        echo "@set EDITION $(VERSION)"; \
        echo "@set VERSION $(VERSION)") > vti.tmp
        @cmp -s vti.tmp $(srcdir)/version.texi \
        || (echo "Updating $(srcdir)/version.texi"; \
                 cp vti.tmp $(srcdir)/version.texi)
        [EMAIL PROTECTED] -f vti.tmp
        @cp $(srcdir)/version.texi $@
