Public bug reported:
In the script /usr/bin/autoreconf provided by package autoconf, the path
variables for autoconf and aclocal are incorrect. They are set as
autoconf and aclocal, which are not executables on the system, and
When autoreconf is invoked, you will receive messages such as:
+ exec autoreconf
Can't exec "aclocal": No such file or directory at /usr/bin/autoreconf line 184.
Use of uninitialized value $aclocal in pattern match (m//) at
/usr/bin/autoreconf line 184.
Can't exec "automake": No such file or directory at /usr/bin/autoreconf line
185.
Use of uninitialized value $automake in pattern match (m//) at
/usr/bin/autoreconf line 185.
Can't exec "aclocal": No such file or directory at
/usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm line 290.
autoreconf: failed to run aclocal: No such file or directory
The above were obtained by running ./autogen.sh in the current mainline
of wget.
Since there are several versions of these binaries, it appears that the
decision was made to name each with its version number in /usr/bin/; for
example, /usr/bin/automake-1.10. There are, however, sym links correctly
established in /etc/alternatives; /etc/alternatives/automake points to
/usr/bin/automake-1.10.
Here's the fix. The following two symlinks need to be created when the
autoconf package is installed:
/usr/bin/automake -> /etc/alternatives/automake
/usr/bin/aclocal -> /etc/alternatives/aclocal
That is the model that is employed for other such executables that keep
their version number, but it has eluded this package for some reason.
