Just to clarify: The problem that Falk faced was of course not caused by linking, the linking scenario I gave was just another reason not to build packages without pbuilder :) The cause of Falks problem may indeed be an automake/autoconf run but I also remember that I used to change the headers of all manpages with find+sed+perl in debian/rules and I suspect that after this change the patches no longer find their context lines. If that is the case the bug will probably marked as wontfix except anybody comes up with a better idea. But let's wait and see what the problem actually is. bye, -christian-
