   On my ubuntu Dapper box, I am trying to compile something that   
   requires automake 1.9.  It looks for option '-f'.  On my system, if I   
   run /usr/bin/automake --version, I get automake (GNU automake) 1.4-p6   
      
   However, when I run aptitude, I see automake 1.7, 1.8, and 1.9.  There   
   is an 'i' next to automake1.9, indicating it is installed.   
      
   Can someone explain this discrepancy?  I am not sure how to reconcile   
   this and get the machine running 1.9 and understand the -f option.   
      
   thanks,   
   K
