See those square brackets???

Automake bug!

Actually, it is not a real bug, but a change of syntax.  The 
geda files require a newer version of automake than you have.

Debian has several versions.  You need to pick.  If you don't it 
defaults to the oldest one.  I don't know why.

The solution is:
"sudo apt-get install automake1.9"

This bug will only show when you are building from CVS.  The 
usual build or a distribution tarball does not (or at least 
should not) require automake.
