Bug#376639: Please stop Build-Depending on automake
Package: ax25-tools
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
The automake maintainer is working towards reclaiming
the automake package name, which currently rests on
automake1.4, the oldest version of automake. Your package,
yacas, Build-Depends on automake, hence this bug
report. Please see http://wiki.debian.org/AutomakeTransition
for more information on this transition.
Your package appears to work with the latest automake1.9
package. Attached is a patch to update the build-dependency.
The patch also adds a needed build dependency on libxt-dev
that stopped it from building even before these modifications.
Thanks,
James
