  =AB If you closely look at gnome-common's changelog, I already tried to

  =AB Many upstream GNOME modules still depend on automake1.4 as they

  =AB You can force gnome-common to use a new automake using the
  =AB REQUIRED_AUTOMAKE_VERSION variable in autogen.sh. automake1.8 isn't
  =AB supported yet.
