Hi Ali-
It has been my experience that many development packages really
are sensitive to specific versions of automake. Recent Redhat distros
include multiple automake packages that can all be installed
concurrently (automake, automake1.5, automake1.4, etc). I suspect
Mandrake has similar offerings.
While that may be true, rpm is not one of those devel packages that
is "sensitive" to automake.
And even if it was "sensitive", automake-1.5 ain't exactly what I
would choose.
So my suggestion would be simply to go to your distro
repository; CD or on-line, and install the automake package that
rpm-build wants...
Yep. Honk Mandriva for the reason they added the dependency. rpm itself
certainly does not need any version of automake because automake is not
necessary to build rpm (or anything within rpm sources).
