Thank you. I have applied the patch below to HEAD to fix this in Libtool, and also opened a Debian bug with a patch to fix the wrapper: http://bugs.debian.org/343629 I added a requirement for 2.50 instead of removing the --force, because with autoconf-2.13 there were other followup errors, which I do not intend to analyze unless someone convinces me that 2.13 compatibility would somehow be a worthwhile goal. Cheers, Ralf * tests/old-m4-iface.at: Require Autoconf-2.50, so that Debian's autoconf wrapper will not cause 2.13 to barf over `--force'. Reported by Kurt Roeckx <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
