make: *** No rule to make target `kpartapp.tar.gz', needed by `all-am'

[Bernd Pol]

Hi Steven,

this looks quite similar to some problems I experienced after upgrading 
to SuSE 9.1 about a month ago. A complete rebuild in a clean directory 
solved those issues here.

I took the CVS sources I knew were building formerly, ran a
    make -f admin/Makefile.common cvs-clean
over all of them and then compiled as usual. The machinery adapted 
seamlessly to the new autotools versions.

Since then I was able to upgrade from CVS once or twice a week, running 
nightly CRON jobs almost like Amilcar did.

BTW: Do not mix Unsermake and normal build runs on the same compilations 
without a clean. I ran into severe compilation problems by 
inadvertently doing so. My scripts used to fall back to a 
normal build when Unsermake failed.
Although really I do like Unsermake, I decided to not use it anymore on 
CVS builds, because now and then rather simple changes to the sources 
caused it to to fail.
