Package: autoconf Version: 2.59a-3 Severity: normal autoconf installs /usr/bin/autoconf, but when autoconf2.13 is installed it is diverted to /usr/bin/autoconf2.50.
This makes it hard to use autoconf 2.50 from package build scripts, because the 2.50 version's name changes depending on whether 2.13 is installed or not. You would have to force 2.13 to be present or not using build-depends or build-conflicts. It would be better (I think) if the name was consistently autoconf2.50. /usr/bin/autoconf could be managed with alternatives. thanks Hamish -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-1-amd64-k8 Locale: LANG=en_AU, LC_CTYPE=en_AU (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages autoconf depends on: ii debianutils 2.14.2 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii m4 1.4.3-2 a macro processing language ii perl 5.8.7-4 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction Versions of packages autoconf recommends: ii automake1.4 [automaken] 1:1.4-p6-9 A tool for generating GNU Standard ii automake1.9 [automaken] 1.9.6-1 A tool for generating GNU Standard -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
