automake1.10 provides automaken, satisfies the build-dependency on my system, and fails to build systemd. According to aptitude automaken is provided by automake1.7, automake1.9, automake1.10, and automake (version 1.11). If automake1.10 is too old then nothing other than automake (version 1.11) will work and thus for Wheezy the build-depends should have automaken removed as there is no possibility of the virtual package automaken providing a successful build unless it's provided by automake. Anyway build dependencies can be versioned, so there is no reason for a build to fail part way through because of an old version of a package. You just need a build-depends line that requires the correct version. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
