Package: autotrace
Version: 0.31.1-16+nmu1.2

When I tested the latest FontForge (2016apr3) using ./bootstrap, I ran into the 
problem where aclocal ran into an error with 
AM_PATH_AUTOTRACE

This problem appears for automake > version 1.7 and can be fixed by adding [] 
around AUTOTRACE, on line 7 of file autotrace.m4.

There is already a patch submitted upstream in 2005-05-22 as:
https://sourceforge.net/p/autotrace/patches/4/

another example can be viewed on homebrew:
https://github.com/Homebrew/patches/blob/master/autotrace/patch-autotrace.m4.diff

A similar explanation can be read in windowmaker:
http://lists.windowmaker.org/dev/msg00053.html

I recommend applying the patch, since this bug cannot be fixed from within 
FontForge.

Thanks,
Joe
