[Bug 41021] Kdevelop is almost useless without automake 1.6

[Rémy Marronnier]

Public bug reported:

Affects: kdevelop3 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
>From a kubuntu dapper freshly installed, I installed Kdevelop and
decided to compile a kde application.

I got this nice message :

cd '/home/didier/inforecrut' && WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6="1" make -f Makefile.cvs && mkdir '/home/didier/inforecrut/debug' && cd '/home/didier/inforecrut/debug' && CXXFLAGS="-O0 -g3" "/home/didier/inforecrut/configure" --enable-debug=full && cd '/home/didier/inforecrut/debug' && WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6="1" make -k 
This Makefile is only for the CVS repository
This will be deleted before making the distribution

*** YOU'RE USING automake (GNU automake) 1.4-p6.
*** KDE requires automake 1.6
make[1]: *** [cvs] Erreur 1
make: *** [all] Erreur 2
*** Exited with status: 2 ***

Then, I looked in the repos and couldn't find automake 1.6 (there were
1.4, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9 but no 1.6)

It's not a package bug, it's a dependency one (at least, it seems to me)

I hope it can be solved.
