Package: autoconf
Version: 2.12-1
I've been trying to patch krb5 to use released versions of autoconf
and the various ss/db/et libraries instead of insisting on using its
own internal versions (my one big complaint about Athena software).
The following patch to autoconf (plus a few patches to krb5) allows
krb5 to be built (and re-autoconf) only using the stock autoconf. I
don't know if they'll be interested upstream, but I'm sending it to
you just in case:

Sounds like it was fixed long ago. Hard to believe it's been 15 years since I
filed that. Thanks for the cleanup work!
