Done, waiting for reply. ;) > Regarding autotools-dev, it is used by debian/rules and does useful > stuff: > > cp -f /usr/share/misc/config.sub config.sub > cp -f /usr/share/misc/config.guess config.guess Those files will never be used during the build, upstream libidn uses these files from build-aux/ since many release ago. > You can read /usr/share/doc/autotools-dev/README.Debian.gz for some > information. I've read it, but I think it is based on old understanding of autoconf/automake/libtool. For example, it doesn't discuss autoconf 2.6x and libtool 2.x at all. The files shipped in the autotools-dev file are older than what libidn ships. So I think autotools-dev does more harm than good in this case. /Simon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
