Package: codebreaker Severity: wishlist Tags: patch The automake maintainer is working towards reclaiming the automake package name, which currently rests on automake1.4, the oldest version of automake. Your package Build-Depends on automake, hence this bug report. Please see http://wiki.debian.org/AutomakeTransition for more information on this transition.
Your orig.tar.gz has symlinks to files distributed in the automake1.4 package. This is very undesirable since it makes it difficult to upgrade to newer versions of automake. Please suggest to upstream to ship the files and not the links. The attached patch just updates the automake build depend to automake1.4. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
