Debian tells me that the config.(guess|sub) files shipped with Fedora's libtool are outdated and that tarballs created by me (on Fedora) makes lintian (a Debian package checker) complain about them. Any chance these files can be updated? Thanks! For the record, I'm using libtool-1.5.22-10.fc7 2007/4/1, David Zeuthen <david>: > On Sun, 2007-04-01 at 20:30 +0200, Michael Biebl wrote: > > rc3 still has the same problem. lintian (a Debian package checker) complains: > > # lintian /home/michael/debian/build-area/hal_0.5.9~rc3-1_i386.changes > > E: hal source: outdated-autotools-helper-file config.sub 2003-06-18 > > E: hal source: outdated-autotools-helper-file config.guess 2003-06-17 > > > > config.guess/config.sub is usually shipped by libtool, so you should > > check this package first. > > Mmm..

You should file a bug report against the Fedora libtool package so that they ship more recent versions of these files.

redhat-rpm-config is to blame here. redhat-rpm-config still ships those ancient config.{guess,sub} files and copies them into the root of any package that uses %configure in the spec file. JCM, how about an update of those files ? Those from the latest automake should do, you just have to check for any RH specific patches in the old files. I'll patch libtool.spec in the meantime to avoid %configure
fixed in libtool-1.5.22-11.fc7

Ok. I will update the files. Apologies for the delay. Jon.
