Package: libgpmg1
Version: 1.20.3~pre3-1
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Justification: FTBFS

Hi !

When building gpm from source, I get:

autoconf
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
make: execvp: ./configure: Permission denied

Building again solves the problem. Attached a very simple patch to
solve the problem.

Hmmm ... so apparently it didn't occur to either you or Andi Barth (who
applied your patch in an NMU) to wonder _why_ autoconf would produce a
non-executable configure file, or why this happens only in gpm and not
in the countless other packages that run autoconf.

(Turns out we're triggering an autoconf bug.  I've fixed this
_properly_ for the next upload.)
