The problem is that packages ship config.guess and config.sub files, and they get out of date. I don't see how I can do anything in the libtool package to prevent you from shipping old files. libtool also doesn't provide or ship those files, but it does depends on autotools-dev to have them. I fail to see what your problem with running autoreconf is. This is in my opinion something that should always be done, and you should check that it actually works. Things would be so much easier if everybody just did that. If aclocal.m4 contains macros that aren't anywhere else, you're either missing a build-depends or maybe you're missing sources for those macros. Since I don't see how I can do anything in libtool about your problem, I'm probably going to close this. Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
