| Hi,

| Package automake is not available, but is referred to by another package.

| However the following packages replace it:
| automake1.4
| E: Package automake has no installation candidate
Well, but why does that not trip up
a) my pbuiler at home
b) the autobuilders listed at http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?pkg=littler
which built the package several dozen times
c) Why does lintian not tell me?
| Please update.
I now have, but I am also downgrading the bug as this manifestedly builds from
source as demonstrated several dozen times (see a) and b) above).
It actually works without either auto* so I just removed them:
littler (0.0.7-2) unstable; urgency=low
* debian/control: Remove Build-Depends: on automake and autotools-dev
(Closes: #394295)

as I only needed that in the beginning when our 'make dist' from SVN
didn't yet include everything.
I'll either throw 0.0.7-2 up there or Jeff and I may decide to call the
current SVN snapshot the new 0.0.8. Either way the debian/control will be
'lighter'.
Thanks for the minor bug report.
Dirk
