Package: expat
Version: 1.95.8-3
Severity: important

Hi,

the current version of expat fails to build on GNU/kFreeBSD, 
because of outdated libtool.

The version of libtool used in expat is too old to correctly 
support Debian GNU/k*BSD, libtool 1.5.2-1 or later is need.

Here is how to update the libtool in your package:

  libtoolize -c -f
  aclocal (-Im4 might be needed if there is an "m4" template dir)
  autoconf

Note that you should probably use the same version of aclocal (from
the packages automake*) as the one used in the package. You could
determine it by looking at the first line of Makefile.in.

It would also be nice if you can ask upstream to update libtool
in their next release.

Thanks in advance

                         Petr
