Description of problem: gnome-autogen.sh is looking for now-out-of-date components, due notably to the new automake-1.11 package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ rpm -qf /usr/bin/gnome-autogen.sh gnome-common-2.26.0-1.fc11.noarch $ egrep gnome-common\|automake /var/log/rpmpkgs automake-1.11-2.fc11.noarch.rpm automake14-1.4p6-18.fc11.noarch.rpm automake15-1.5-26.noarch.rpm automake16-1.6.3-15.noarch.rpm automake17-1.7.9-12.noarch.rpm gnome-common-2.26.0-1.fc11.noarch.rpm How reproducible: Completely consistently. Steps to Reproduce: REQUIRED_AUTOMAKE_VERSION=1.9 . gnome-autogen.sh Actual results: automake 1.9 and 1.10 are gone, so... checking for automake >= 1.9... testing automake-1.10... not found. testing automake-1.9... not found. ***Error***: You must have automake >= 1.9 installed Expected results: "duh" Additional info: gnome-autogen.sh uses this test for a valid automake version. case $REQUIRED_AUTOMAKE_VERSION in 1.4*) automake_progs="automake-1.4" ;; 1.5*) automake_progs="automake-1.10 automake-1.9 automake-1.8 automake-1.7 automake-1.6 automake-1.5" ;; 1.6*) automake_progs="automake-1.10 automake-1.9 automake-1.8 automake-1.7 automake-1.6" ;; 1.7*) automake_progs="automake-1.10 automake-1.9 automake-1.8 automake-1.7" ;; 1.8*) automake_progs="automake-1.10 automake-1.9 automake-1.8" ;; 1.9*) automake_progs="automake-1.10 automake-1.9" ;; 1.10*) automake_progs="automake-1.10" ;; esac A temporary hack workaround is to symlink both automake-1.11 and aclocal-1.11 to equivalent 1.10 names.
