Re: Bug: textutils-2.1 break, if you "touch" it

[Nitin Gupta]

I noticed that on textutils (after "touching"), even if I have automake 
version 1.7, it was asking me to have 1.6b.
Coreutils is asking for newer autoconf and automake than what I have, so 
I test that after reinstalling autoconf and automake on my pc.
