I haven't noticed much else - this planner build issue was the first.

I only every build the Linux kernel plus a few dozen other smaller
packages and not anything as big as KDE so I've never had a reason to
doubt what the aclocal and automake did and so far haven't bothered
looking at them closer until now.

I've temporarily soft linked aclocal and automake to the
1.7 version as opposed to removing the 1.4 package. This gets me
around the issue (though I thing richard has reverted back to *-1.7

This could just be a Mandrake issue - googling for it shows
some hits regarding 1.4 v 1.7 on Mandrake.  I'll keep a watch
on this. I may just upgrade to Mandrake 10 and see if that
cleans this out.
