Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdevelop3

When generating a simple "Hello World" C++ project, KDevelop generates a configure.in file which uses a macro AM_PROG_LIBTOOL. This macro is only installed by the libtool package, so if it is not installed, the "Hello World" project cannot build.

Automake and configure are dragged in as kdevelop3 dependencies; libtool, for some reason, isn't.

Oh, forgot to mention: This is on Dapper.

This is already fixed in Edgy. There libtool is recommended by kdevelop (it's not a hard dependency because you can use kdevelop for things other than C or C++ where you don't need libtool).

Sadly, this fix will not be backported to Dapper, because according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates it's no high-impact bug (and the easy workaround is of course to install libtool).

I will thus mark this bug as fixed, thank you for reporting.
