time build depends on virtual automaken which is ninstallable

[Tamas Szerb]

The time package Build-Depends on automaken which is a virtual package (provided by automake, automake1.7.. etc), and the apt cannot resolve therefore the dependency to build up the building environment. According the ubuntu proposal for this, you should use

Build-Depends: .. automake1.7 | automaken

or anything ensuring that the first package is really installable (and the time package buildable with it: 1.7 fulfills this) then listing the virtuals.

Cheers,

In 2010, the dependency was changed to "automake | automaken".
