I tried the following patch: diff --git a/debian/control b/debian/control index b484dd4..a11073a 100644 --- a/debian/control +++ b/debian/control @@ -5,7 +5,6 @@ Maintainer: Debian WML Packaging Team <[email protected] Uploaders: Axel Beckert <[email protected]> Standards-Version: 3.9.4 Build-Depends: autoconf (>= 2.57~), - automake1.9, debhelper (>= 9~), dh-autoreconf, dpkg (>= 1.16.2), diff --git a/debian/rules b/debian/rules index 8f718ef..4ac0c98 100755 --- a/debian/rules +++ b/debian/rules @@ -30,7 +30,7 @@ override_dh_auto_configure: cp -f /usr/share/gettext/po/$$f po/; \ done - ACLOCAL=aclocal-1.9 AUTOMAKE=automake-1.9 dh_autoreconf + dh_autoreconf dh_auto_configure -- \ --without-included-ltdl \ @@ -39,7 +39,7 @@ override_dh_auto_configure: override_dh_auto_clean: -tar cvf debian/needed-after-clean.tar ABOUT-NLS po/Makefile.in.in - ACLOCAL=aclocal-1.9 AUTOMAKE=automake-1.9 dh_autoreconf_clean + dh_autoreconf_clean # PO stuff cd po && rm -f ${GETTEXT_PO_FILES} stamp-po POTFILES Makefile.in rm -f ${GETTEXT_TOP_FILES} But the package then FTBFS as follows: [...] dh_autoreconf configure.ac:32: error: automatic de-ANSI-fication support has been removed /usr/share/aclocal-1.14/obsolete.m4:26: AM_C_PROTOTYPES is expanded from... configure.ac:32: the top level autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 aclocal: error: echo failed with exit status: 1 autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1 dh_autoreconf: autoreconf -f -i returned exit code 1 make[1]: *** [override_dh_auto_configure] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/buildd/mp4h-1.3.1' I think that is somehow related to the removal of ansi2knr, but so far I see "ansi2knr" only in aclocal.m4 and configure which both get overwritten by dh_autoreconf. So I'm slightly out of ideas where that may still come from. Any hints?
