Well, I can only compare the builds of 2.59a-3 and 2.59a-4. 2.59a-3: [...] dh_testdir make make[1]: Entering directory `/source-orig/autoconf-2.59a' Making all in bin make[2]: Entering directory `/source-orig/autoconf-2.59a/bin' rm -f autom4te autom4te.tmp sed -e 's,@SHELL\@,/bin/sh,g' -e 's,@PERL\@,/usr/bin/perl,g' -e 's,@bindir\@,/usr/bin,g' -e 's,@datadir\@,/usr/share/autoconf,g' -e 's,@prefix\@,/usr,g' -e 's,@autoconf-name\@,'`echo autoconf | sed 's,x,x,'`',g' -e 's,@autoheader-name\@,'`echo autoheader | sed 's,x,x,'`',g' -e 's,@autom4te-name\@,'`echo autom4te | sed 's,x,x,'`',g' -e 's,@M4\@,/usr/bin/m4,g' -e 's,@AWK\@,awk,g' -e 's,@VERSION\@,2.59,g' -e 's,@PACKAGE_NAME\@,GNU Autoconf,g' -e 's,@configure_input\@,Generated from autom4te.in; do not edit by hand.,g' ./autom4te.in >autom4te.tmp chmod +x autom4te.tmp chmod -w autom4te.tmp mv -f autom4te.tmp autom4te rm -f autoconf autoconf.tmp [...]

After "mv -f autom4te.tmp autom4te" the command "../tests/autom4te --language M4sh --cache '' ./autoconf.as -o autoconf.in" occur, which complains about not finding autoconf-2.59a/tests/.././lib/autom4te.cfg. This doesn't happen in 2.59a-3. A diff of the two configure scripts give me this: @@ -2910,11 +2910,6 @@ *) ac_INSTALL=$ac_top_builddir$INSTALL ;; esac - if test x"$ac_file" != x-; then - { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: creating $ac_file" >&5 -echo "$as_me: creating $ac_file" >&6;} - rm -f "$ac_file" - fi # Let's still pretend it is `configure' which instantiates (i.e., don't # use $as_me), people would be surprised to read: # /* config.h.
