Hi *, I'm packaging gnome-translate (ITP #292909), and everything builds fine. A lintian check on the .changes file throws: E: gnome-translate source: outdated-autotools-helper-file config.guess 2003-07-02 N: N: The referenced file has a time stamp older than year 2004 and the N: package does not build-depend on autotools-dev or automake and N: therefore apparently does not update it. This usually means that the N: source package will not work correctly on all currently released N: architectures. N: E: gnome-translate source: outdated-autotools-helper-file config.sub 2003-07-04 What am I supposed to do? I believe that Build-Depending on autotools-dev | automake is not sufficient, as it seems that those files won't be updated anyways. Should I update them manually? This will introduce those changes in the .diff.gz outside the debian/ dir (and, AFAICT, keeping only debian/ into the .diff.gz is The Right Thing). Any suggestion is very welcome. Kindly, David -- .
