[Bug 942185] Re: Can't build grub2 1.99-14ubuntu2 sources with automake 1.11.3

[Colin Watson]

Fixed in 1.99-15, merged into precise as part of 1.99-16ubuntu1:

grub2 (1.99-15) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Adam Conrad ]
  * grub.cfg_400.patch: Redirect grep stdout to /dev/null since
    grub-mkconfig is "exec > grub.cfg.new", which causes grep's input
    and output to be the same FD (LP: #934269) (closes: #652972)
  * efi_disk_cache.patch: Bump the disk cache on EFI systems to
    dramatically reduce load times for vmlinux/initrd (LP: #944347)

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * no_libzfs.patch: Use xasprintf rather than asprintf.
  * Backport from upstream:
    - Rewrite XFS btree parsing; fixes invalid BMAP (closes: #657776).
    - Handle newer autotools, and add some missing quotes in the process.
      (Note that this moves grub-mkconfig_lib and update-grub_lib to
      /usr/share/grub; I added links in /usr/lib/grub for compatibility.)
    - Fix incorrect identifiers in bash-completion (closes: #661415).
    - Add support for GRUB_CMDLINE_GNUMACH (closes: #660493).
  * Build with GCC 4.6 (closes: #654727).

  [ Debconf translations ]
  * Dutch (Jeroen Schot).  Closes: #651275
  * Bulgarian (Damyan Ivanov).  Closes: #653356
  * Icelandic (Sveinn í Felli).
  * Ukrainian (Yatsenko Alexandr).  Closes: #654294
  * Italian (Luca Monducci).  Closes: #654304
  * Thai (Theppitak Karoonboonyanan).  Closes: #656551
  * Uyghur (Abduqadir Abliz)
  * Indonesian (Mahyuddin Susanto).  Closes: #656705
  * Hebrew (Omer Zak).  Closes: #656852
  * Turkish (Atila KOÇ).  Closes: #656907
  * Polish (Michał Kułach).  Closes: #657265
  * Asturian (Mikel González).
  * Dzongkha (Dawa Pemo)
  * Tamil (Dr.T.Vasudevan).
  * Belarusian (Viktar Siarhiejczyk).  Closes: #662615

Title:
  Can't build grub2 1.99-14ubuntu2 sources with automake  1.11.3

Status in GRand Unified Bootloader:
  Unknown
Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  It looks like the latest ubuntu version of automake (1.11.3) can't
  build the source code for grub due to pkglib being changed to pkgdata.
  It builds fine with automake 1.11.1 but downgrading is not an option
  for me.  Any info on when the source code will be changed to use the
  new variable?

  The exact error messages are:
