dpkg-source: unrepresentable changes to source

[Florian Hinzmann <f.hinzmann@hamburg.de>]

Hello!

I just tried to make XFMail build like suggested
in /usr/share/doc/autotools-dev/README.Debian.gz.

So the clean target in debian/rules calls the 
autotools. After that dpkg-source tries to build
the diff. I get the following output then:


 dpkg-source -b xfmail-1.5.1
dpkg-source: building xfmail using existing xfmail_1.5.1.orig.tar.gz
dpkg-source: building xfmail in xfmail_1.5.1-3.diff.gz
dpkg-source: cannot represent change to depcomp:
dpkg-source:  new version is symlink
dpkg-source:  old version is nonexistent
dpkg-source: cannot represent change to ltmain.sh:

dpkg-source: cannot represent change to install-sh:

dpkg-source:  new version is symlink
dpkg-source:  old version is nonexistent
dpkg-source: building xfmail in xfmail_1.5.1-3.dsc
dpkg-source: unrepresentable changes to source

All these are symlinks from <file> to /usr/share/autoconf/<file>.


Anyone had this? Anyone knows what to do about it?

Thanks in advance!

       Florian
