Dear Maintainer,

This bug is still a problem in April 2024. I built in an old project that used 
to work with arduino-mk, but now, make-upload fails with:

<charon>- make upload                                       ~/src/arduino/blink

The problem is the same as mentioned earlier in this bug: it's running avrdude 
with
    -C /usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools/avr/etc/avrdude.conf
when the package actually installs that file as:
       /usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools/avrdude.conf


Running the following command by hand successfully installs the binary:

/usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools/avr/bin/avrdude -q -V -p atmega328p -C 
/usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools/avrdude.conf  -D -c arduino -b 115200 -P 
/dev/ttyACM0 -U flash:w:build-uno/blink_.hex:i

The arduino-mk package should be changed to reflect where the arduino package 
is actually installing avrdude.conf (dpkg -S says it comes from arduino, not 
from avrdude, oddly enough).

The problematic lines seem to be in Arduino.mk around line 426: it's comparing 
whether $(ARDUINO_VERSION) is greater than 157, and the logic earlier for 
calculating $ARDUINO_VERSION is rather complicated, but it ends up doing
    cat /usr/share/arduino/lib/version.txt  | sed -e 's/^[0-9]://g' -e 
's/[.]//g' -e 's/\+.*//g' | head -c5
which ends up with ARDUINO_VERSION = 1819, so it's greater than 157, but the 
path is actually in the place specified for versions less than 157. Maybe it 
moved, then moved back?

As a workaround, I commented out the version check as follows:

            ifndef AVRDUDE_CONF
                # ifeq ($(shell expr $(ARDUINO_VERSION) '>' 157), 1)
                #     AVRDUDE_CONF = $(AVR_TOOLS_DIR)/etc/avrdude.conf
                #  else
                    AVRDUDE_CONF = $(AVR_TOOLS_DIR)/../avrdude.conf
                # endif
            endif

and now make upload correctly uploads sketches to an Uno.
