missing uninstall targets in subdirectories

Hi all,

I really don't know how this can come, since tetex is using
autoconf. But I also don't know enough about autoconf to debug it. So
here's just a bare report. This is what I did:

frank@alhambra:~$ grep "alhambra" /sid/usr/src/uninstall.log 

frank@alhambra:/usr/src$ tar -xzf ~root/tetex-src-beta-20040208.tar.gz 
frank@alhambra:/usr/src$ cd tetex-src-beta-20030208/
frank@alhambra:/usr/src/tetex-src-beta-20030208$ ./configure
frank@alhambra:/usr/src/tetex-src-beta-20030208$ make
frank@alhambra:/usr/src/tetex-src-beta-20030208$ exit
frank@alhambra:/usr/src/tetex-src-beta-20030208$ su
alhambra:/usr/src/tetex-src-beta-20030208# make install
alhambra:/usr/src/tetex-src-beta-20030208# make uninstall

And this is the end of the output of the last command:

make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/tetex-src-beta-20030208/utils/texinfo'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/tetex-src-beta-20030208/utils/texinfo'
making uninstall in utils/dialog
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/tetex-src-beta-20030208/utils/dialog'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/tetex-src-beta-20030208/utils/dialog'
make: *** [uninstall] Error 1
alhambra:/usr/src/tetex-src-beta-20030208#

Not that I mind; I'll make Debian packages that will uninstall
differently. But other users will - the uninstall stops quite at the
beginning. /usr/local/teTeX/bin/$arch contains 137 files.

Regards, Frank

Sorry, I'm not running stock Debian kernels, and I'm not running the
/dev/uri/geller patch.  My cutlery kept getting bent when I had it compiled,
so I got rid of it.                  [Matthew Palmer on debian-mentors]
