Hello,

I am tried to compile a program called 'bonfire' from source and ran
into the same error that has already bee reported by Elias Kunnas...

/usr/share/aclocal/smpeg.m4:13: warning: underquoted definition of
AM_PATH_SMPEG

After a couple of hours of research and then some comparing of .m4 files
in /usr/share/alocal I decided to edit the 'smpeg.m4' file and correct
what looked like a typo. After editing it bonfire is now compiling
instead of bombing out on the error posted above. Then I decided to look
at the package that smpeg.m4 belongs to and see if there was a bug
report on it. I see that there is and it's over one year old now. I am
requesting that the bug either be fixed and closed, or that the bug be
listed as 'will not fix' and closed with the reason given upon closing
it with the will not fix status. Or at least up the bug to 'Normal'
severity with 'Patch available' please, as this bug is quite
disconcerting when trying to compile something from source that depends
upon the macro.

bonfire is supposed to be a very nice cd/dvd burning application, and I
intend to use it for a time and if I find to indeed be a very nice
program then I would like to recommend that it be added into debian.
However, I thought it might be best to get this bug fixed first, which
bonfire depends upon. If something can be done about this bug please
take action.

Thank you,

Jimmy Richards
