Package: libtool Version: 2.4.2-1 Severity: minor Tags: upstream patch The help text for the --with-sysroot option is written directly rather than using the AS_HELP_STRING macro to format the text. Also, the square brackets around [=DIR] are being swallowed by m4.
Patch attached to rectify both problems, applies to the libtool.m4 file that is installed to /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 .
