Package: src:automake
Version: 1:1.19-1
Severity: serious
Hello.
Shortly after this was uploaded for unstable, I discovered accidentally that
it broke gettext:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gettext/2026-09/msg00013.html
That was of course a bug in gettext, which is now fixed, but I wonder
how many more packages will be broken in similar ways.
I'm going to start an archive rebuild now and will probably have
an estimation of that. I expect it will not take more than one or two days.
(Note that this is not a real bug in automake, but a dummy bug to temporarily
prevent it to propagate to testing, and you can close it at any time,
but I'd like to request that you wait at least a few days before doing so).
Thanks.

I do archive rebuilds often enough to say that any breakage from new automake
has been already reported, so let's close this for good.
Thanks.
