Comment 184 for bug 967091

Strange. The line in question is the one I mentioned in my reply to Stephen's original mail: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/vdpau/2012-September/000023.html

>> +
>> +libvdpausysconfdir=$(sysconfdir)
>> +libvdpausysconf_DATA = vdpau_wrapper.cfg
>
> This breaks distcheck:

> make[3]: *** No rule to make target `vdpau_wrapper.cfg', needed by `all-am'. Stop.

> I think this needs to be dist_libvdpausysconf_DATA.

I'm not sure why you wouldn't be seeing that in the Debian package since your debdiff adds the incorrect line rather than the fixed version in the upstream repository:

+@@ -27,3 +28,6 @@ libvdpauincludedir = $(includedir)/vdpau
+ libvdpauinclude_HEADERS = \
+ $(top_srcdir)/include/vdpau/vdpau.h \
+ $(top_srcdir)/include/vdpau/vdpau_x11.h
++
++libvdpausysconfdir=$(sysconfdir)
++libvdpausysconf_DATA = vdpau_wrapper.cfg

In any case, if it works for you and no one is actually expecting to use dist / distcheck from the Ubuntu package, then the difference is moot.
