Bug Description
From a kubuntu dapper freshly installed, I installed Kdevelop and decided to compile a kde application.
I got this nice message :
cd '/home/
This Makefile is only for the CVS repository
This will be deleted before making the distribution
*** YOU'RE USING automake (GNU automake) 1.4-p6.
*** KDE requires automake 1.6
make[1]: *** [cvs] Erreur 1
make: *** [all] Erreur 2
*** Exited with status: 2 ***
Then, I looked in the repos and couldn't find automake 1.6 (there were 1.4, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9 but no 1.6)
It's not a package bug, it's a dependency one (at least, it seems to me)
I hope it can be solved.

Do you still get the error if you install 1.8 or 1.9 instead of 1.4?
kdevelop depends on one of the four.
Some applications require newer and sometimes older versions of automake to compile. I don't think this is a bug in kubuntu.
