Package: automake1.9 Version: 1.9.5-1 Severity: normal Hi Eric,
automake1.9 provides the facility to select the tar format to use (v7, posix, pax), and this works very well. However, the newer formats do require tar 1.14 in order to work. Due to the base freeze, sarge only has 1.13 available. Although tar is in base, adding a versioned dependency would prevent breakage ("make dist" failing or producing broken archives). This is probably too late for sarge, and won't be a problem for etch, so doing nothing might also work.
