Okay, here's how to reproduce what I'm talking about: from a clean state (e.g. dpkg -l | grep -E "automake|autoconf" returns nothing, /usr/bin/automake* and /usr/bin/auto*conf* do not exist):
sudo apt-get install automake autoconf (usual messages for "OK) jame...@salmon:/usr/bin$ls /usr/bin/automake ls: cannot access /usr/bin/automake: No such file or directory So, my point is, that installing the automake package through apt-get does not create a link (via any method) of /usr/bin/automake to /etc/alternatives/automake. This is not a life changing bug if you know what's happening, but, I do believe, is a bug none-the-less. Calling /usr/sbin/update-alternatives does not create the /usr/bin/automake symlink for me, either; I have to manually create it. -- Incorrect automake, aclocal path variables in autoreconf script https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/321727 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
