I just updated my cvs sources (did a fresh checkout to be sure) and I keep getting an error with both make rpm-dist and make deb-dist as follows.

I get almost exactly the same error for both rpm-dist and deb-dist

It's probably an oversight.

It seems as the same error is shiped with the 2.5.15 tarballs. It seems as if modules/FvwmTabs/Makefile.am concider the final manpage as a part of the distrubution, rather than the pod-file. When making make tries to rebuild the manpage from the pod, but the pod is missing. I don't have enough knowledge on automake to know what changes are needed, so somone else will have to fix it.
