I'm trying to think why I objected to this before, but I'm not sure what I was thinking. The only problem with this change is that there are still packages that Build-Depend on automake, and if I make this change, those packages will fail to build on systems with multiple automakes installed (and the alternatives haven't been touched manually). I'm not sure if that's really a problem or not. -- Eric Dorland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ICQ: #61138586, Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1024D/16D970C6 097C 4861 9934 27A0 8E1C 2B0A 61E9 8ECF 16D9 70C6 -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS d- s++: a-- C+++ UL+++ P++ L++ E++ W++ N+ o K- w+ O?
