Package: dovecot
Version: 1.0.13-1
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Justification: no longer builds from source
This package fails to build on my system, complaining first about
aclocal version then about a missing Makefile.in file. Here is the
sequence of events:
1. Fetch the package in the normal way with apt-get source:
$ apt-get source dovecot

dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2
The '...' line indicate that I have trimmed out the output because I
don't think it is relevant.
I have been able to work around this by editing the debian/rules file
and change the first call to aclocal on line 17 to aclocal-1.9, patch
attached.
