Package: autoconf2.13
Version: 2.13-54
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/autoreconf2.13

Hi,

I'm tracking a problem where autoreconf fails mysteriously with

FATAL ERROR: Autoconf version 2.50 or higher is required for this script
FATAL ERROR: Autoconf version 2.50 or higher is required for this script

but the build tries to continue. The problem is that autoreconf does
not return an error even though autoconf2.13 and autoheader2.13 both
give the above warning (one each).

The simplest solution would be too add "set -e" to autoreconf2.13 but
I'm not sure if that doesn't fail too often then. It might purposely
ignore some errors. For me with "set -e" it stops after autoconf2.13
gives the error.
