Hello.

Shortly after this was uploaded for unstable, I discovered accidentally that
it broke gettext:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gettext/2026-09/msg00013.html

That was of course a bug in gettext, which is now fixed, but I wonder
how many more packages will be broken in similar ways.

I'm going to start an archive rebuild now and will probably have
an estimation of that. I expect it will not take more than one or two days.

(Note that this is not a real bug in automake, but a dummy bug to temporarily
prevent it to propagate to testing, and you can close it at any time,
but I'd like to request that you wait at least a few days before doing so).

Thanks.

No problem and thanks. I probably should have staged it to
experimental first, the thought did briefly cross my mind.
