Bug#341132: pango1.0: FTBFS if automake1-7 installed

[Frans Pop]

Package: pango1.0
Severity: important

I have not set higher priority as this problem does not occur on the
buildds, but it still is strange for a build to fail when a particular
version of automake is installed.

The failure occurs while building pango-1.8.2-static:
./configure: line 22554: syntax error near unexpected token `1.0'
./configure: line 22554: `GTK_DOC_CHECK(1.0)'

Apparently the presence of automake1.7 causes configure or aclocal.m4 or
some such to be regenerated incorrectly.

On the buildds the error does not occur as automake1.7 is not installed.
Instead the following warnings can be seen in buildd logs, which is
missing in my build log.

/usr/bin/make -C build-tree/pango-1.8.2-static
[...]
WARNING: `aclocal-1.7' is missing on your system.
[...]
WARNING: `automake-1.7' is missing on your system.

The workaround is of course to purge automake1.7.
