The same happens for libsoup:

      See the Autoconf documentation.



I have the following packages:
- autoconf-2.63-r1
- m4-1.4.12
- automake-1.10.2


Reproducible: Always

[Comment 1 temp 2009-11-10 16:01:55 UTC]

Everything is fine again after I switched back from libtool-2.2.6a to libtool-1.5.26.

[Comment 2 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2009-11-15 23:03:13 UTC]

Please run revdep-rebuild & all when migrating to libtool-2. This macro is still there in libtool-2 so this failure should not happen.
