Hello Pierre.

(I'm writing you as upstream as I see you are hosting the homepage).

I've noticed that (in the current version) there are no .deps directories
around after a successful build, and that's why the above fails.

(Here, variable f takes the single value ".deps/*" because there is no
globbing expansion).

To fix it, I've patched the different Makefile.am files in this way
in a team upload:

--- a/config/Makefile.am
+++ b/config/Makefile.am
@@ -167,10 +167,6 @@
 
 clean-local:
        rm -rf cxx_repository
-       for f in $(DEPDIR)/*; do                \
-           rm -f $$f;                  \
-           touch $$f;                          \
-       done

So, the Debian package is fixed, but you might want to check if the
upstream code still does that.

Thanks.
