Did you try to _rebuild_ it or _reinstall_ it? If the latter then it's not too suprising that it didn't work. If it got misbuilt, then you're just unpacking the same broken setup. If it didn't work after rebuild+reinstall, then there's something wrong that for some reason didn't stop the build, and we should probably look at that build process. As a workaround, you can install the version from the binary distribution (command-line required): sudo apt-get install texi2html=1.64-14 Then update autoconf2.5 by itself. After that you can update everything else. > > > >> Okay, Alexander, I tried it.
