Package: autoconf
Version: 2.59a-3
Severity: normal

The configure scripts generated by autoconf do not work on paths containing
commas. 'configure' gets almost to the end, then spews:

 sed: -e expression #1, char 322: Unknown option to 's'
 config.status: creating amplot/amplot.sh
 sed: -e expression #1, char 322: Unknown option to 's'
 config.status: creating amplot/Makefile
 sed: -e expression #1, char 320: Unknown option to 's'
 config.status: creating changer-src/chg-manual.sh
 sed: -e expression #1, char 335: Unknown option to 's'
 config.status: creating changer-src/chg-multi.sh
 sed: -e expression #1, char 333: Unknown option to 's'
 config.status: creating changer-src/chg-mtx.sh
 sed: -e expression #1, char 329: Unknown option to 's'
 (et cetera)

and generates empty Makefiles.

This causes problems when trying to use configure scripts from paths
stored on SFS.


(Note on versions: I initially checked this with 2.53-2 from stable before
installing 2.59a-3 from unstable.)
