Package: autoconf Version: 2.59a-3 Severity: important
Hi, running configure might reveal that it depends on the following files: config.guess config.sub install-sh There does not seem to any method to get those files by looking only at the autoconf package. I know that the files can be found in an automake package but it's non-sense because "automake -a -f -c" just fails: configure.in: no proper invocation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE was found. configure.in: You should verify that configure.in invokes AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, configure.in: that aclocal.m4 is present in the top-level directory, configure.in: and that aclocal.m4 was recently regenerated (using aclocal). automake: no `Makefile.am' found for any configure output And automake is right because I DON'T USE automake. Additionally, it's not automake that needs those files but the file created by autoconf. For autoconf to be complete, the _autoconf_ package/program MUST provide a way to aquire those files.
