Verbatim output:

update-alternatives: atención: forzando la reinstalación de la
alternativa /usr/bin/automake-1.14 porque el grupo de enlaces automake
está roto

"forcing reinstall of /usr/bin/automake-1.14 because  automake links are
broken"


New symlinks:

/usr/bin/automake -> /etc/alternatives/automake
/usr/bin/aclocal -> /etc/alternatives/aclocal
/etc/alternatives/aclocal -> /usr/bin/aclocal-1.14
/etc/alternatives/automake -> /usr/bin/automake-1.14


Thanks a lot!, sorry for the inconvenience.
