That's why "apt-get build-dep grub" matters. Grub (not grub2) has a "Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 4.0.0), automake1.9". Thus, automake1.9 gets installed. "Grub2" doesn't even have a build-depend on automake - there might be a lower dependency on automake but I did not check that. So it's not a system from 2005, it's just that I typed "apt-get build- dep grub" - as stated above.
The bottom line is: the build-dependencies of grub2 (which is in beta) aren't fully up to date, and my list might be of help. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1299041 Title: grub2-2.02 has wrong build-deps To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1299041/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
