[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Dear GNU Hackers,

The dependencies page¹ of autotools links to a non-existing page²:

¹:
http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Dependencies.html#Dependencies

²:
http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake-history/Dependency-Tracking-Evolution.html#Dependency-Tracking-Evolution

(I just hit that broken link while searching for solutions and thought
that it’s best to report it)

Best wishes,
Arne

It seems you sent this bug report to bug-automake by bcc.
This confuses debbugs.gnu.org, which has no idea which package the
report should be associated with. Hence your message ended up on the
help-debbugs mailing list. I have assigned your report to automake, so
that this message and any future ones should go to the right list
(bug-automake).

Thanks for the report about the broken link into the automake-history
documentary. After a mere seven years :), I've added a .symlinks entry
in the automake web repository, so it resolves now. Closing ...
--thanks again, karl.

P.S. For the record, the same place in the mono automake.html,
https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#Dependencies
  links to
https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake-history.html#Dependency-Tracking-Evolution
  which then redirects to
https://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/automake/history/automake-history.html#Dependency-Tracking-Evolution
  which as I recall is done as special cases in the web server setup by
  FSF sysadmin. Anyway, does not look optimal, but it works, so fine :).
