Package: gnome-common
Version: 3.7.4-1
Severity: important

Hi,

I have an autogen.sh error.  When I execute my program, it calls 
autogen.sh from gnome-common and it generates the following error:

./autogen.sh  # generate configure
checking for autoconf >= 2.53...
   testing autoconf2.50... not found.
   testing autoconf... found 2.69
checking for automake >= 1.8...
   testing automake-1.13... not found.
   testing automake-1.12... not found.
   testing automake-1.11... not found.
   testing automake-1.10... not found.
   testing automake-1.9... not found.
   testing automake-1.8... not found.
***Error***: You must have automake >= 1.8 installed
   to build ekiga.  Download the appropriate package for
   from your distribution or get the source tarball at
     http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/automake/automake-1.8.tar.gz
make: *** [/home/ededu/softs/ekiga/windows-svn/ekiga/configure] Error 1

The problem is that automake 1.14 has just appeared and it is not taken 
into account by autogen.sh.  Adding 1.14 to the following lines of 
autogen.sh solves the issue:

case $REQUIRED_AUTOMAKE_VERSION in
     1.4*) automake_progs="automake-1.4" ;;
     1.5*) automake_progs="automake-1.13 automake-1.12 automake-1.11 
automake-1.10 automake-1.9 automake-1.8 automake-1.7 automake-1.6 
automake-1.5" ;;
     1.6*) automake_progs="automake-1.13 automake-1.12 automake-1.11 
automake-1.10 automake-1.9 automake-1.8 automake-1.7 automake-1.6" ;;
     1.7*) automake_progs="automake-1.13 automake-1.12 automake-1.11 
automake-1.10 automake-1.9 automake-1.8 automake-1.7" ;;
     1.8*) automake_progs="automake-1.13 automake-1.12 automake-1.11 
automake-1.10 automake-1.9 automake-1.8" ;;
     1.9*) automake_progs="automake-1.13 automake-1.12 automake-1.11 
automake-1.10 automake-1.9" ;;
     1.10*) automake_progs="automake-1.13 automake-1.12 automake-1.11 
automake-1.10" ;;
     1.11*) automake_progs="automake-1.13 automake-1.12 automake-1.11" ;;
     1.12*) automake_progs="automake-1.13 automake-1.12" ;;
     1.13*) automake_progs="automake-1.13" ;;
esac
