Package: autoconf
Version: 2.59.cvs.2006.05.13-1
Severity: normal

        Hi,

 totem's configure.in uses:
 m4_define(totem_version_major, 1)
 m4_define(totem_version_minor, 4)
 m4_define(totem_version_micro, 1)

 AC_INIT(totem,
         totem_version_major.totem_version_minor.totem_version_micro,
         http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=totem)
 AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR(src/totem.c)
 AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(AC_PACKAGE_NAME, AC_PACKAGE_VERSION)
 AM_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h)
 [...]
 AC_DEFINE(VERSION, AC_PACKAGE_VERSION, [package version])
 [...]
 AC_SUBST(VERSION)

 When I run autoconf 2.59.cvs.2006.05.13-1, and then ./configure, the
 resulting #define VERSION in config.h is not quoted in the same way.
 It now ends up with:
    #define VERSION 1.4.1
 while with autoconf 2.59a-9, this resulted in:
    #define VERSION "1.4.1"

 This seems like a regression / backward-incompatibility in autoconf,
 but perhaps totem's configure.in is doing something evil.

   Bye,
