Yes, it does -- of course, setup enforces that automake depends on automake-devel and automake-stable, so if you see this error it's because you've overridden setup.exe... Or you set the AUTO_STABLE / AUTO_DEVEL environment variables (incorrectly). I've incorporated your suggestions into the next version of the wrappers. However, as a general note, there are a few problems with your submission: 1) you patched a generated file, not a source file (aclocal is created from aclocal.in in the automake -src package). 2) you only patched one of the files -- but all scripts exhibit this behavior. You'd actually need to provide similar patches for automake: aclocal.in automake.in autoconf: autoconf.in autoupdate.in autoreconf.in autoheader.in autoscan.in ifnames.in libtool: libtool.in libtoolize.in 3) No ChangeLog entry I have done all of the above, so no worries this time. However, next time... --Chuck
