Thanks for this, luckily CM was released from being kept back so I was
able to install from there, from the excellent hydra repo. 

On looking at 'automake' in 'apt-cache show' they say this " Automake
1.13 fails to work in a number of situations that Automake 1.4, 1.6,
1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 1.10 and 1.11 did, so has been renamed so that the
previous version can continue to be made available." So its a known
problem. But I've still updated automake for future events. 

Thanks
Sharon.
