Package icqlib does not build with automake 1.6
Hello,
I am contacting you again because I sent some bad information
in my last message.
I had suggested that the minimal fix for a package that will only
build using automake 1.4 is to add version information to the
build-depends line, changing it to "automake (<< 1.5)".
However, this doesn't work! I had forgotten that automake has an
epoch on the version. Thanks to Aurelien Jarno for pointing that out.
There is a better way to force automake 1.4, though, which Dennis
Schoen pointed out: change the build-depend to "automake1.4".
Sorry to all, especially if you just uploaded a revision with
a bogus build-dep. ;-(
Also, I should emphasize that changing the build-dep is the minimal
fix. You could, of course, update the package so that it works with
current automake. Or better (IMHO): run automake in the source tree
before building the package, and don't build-depend on it.
Cheers,
-Steve
