Package: pcp
Version: 3.9.4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

PCP depends on autoconf but it is not listed in the build-dep, otherwise the
build fails with the following error.

        == dpkg-buildpackage: configure
        test -f debian/rules
        autoconf
        make: autoconf: Command not found
        make: *** [.census] Error 127
        dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2
        Build finished at 20140619-1006


Full Build error: 
http://ftp.unicamp.br/pub/ppc64el/debian/buildd-upstream/build_logs/logs/pcp_3.9.6_ppc64el.build


Also, the INSTALL file says the following: "The pcp package uses
autoconf/configure and expects a GNU build". Also, Fedora's spec file requires
autoconf, as shown:

        build/rpm/fedora.spec:BuildRequires: procps autoconf bison flex

Thank you,
Breno
