   The easiest way to make you machine to use automake1.9 is to --reinsall it.   
      
   $ sudo apt-get install --reinstall automake1.9   
   ---------   
   You can also fix it manually (if you already have automake1.9 installed)   
      
   Notice that /usr/bin/automake points (is sym-linked) to    
   /etc/alternatives/automake.   
      
   $ ls -l  /usr/bin/automake   
   lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 2006-11-01 14:20 /usr/bin/automake ->    
   /etc/alternatives/automake   
      
   And /etc/alternatives/automake is sym-linked to /usr/bin/automake-1.9   
   $ ls -l  /etc/alternatives/automake   
   lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2007-01-01 10:23 /etc/alternatives/automake ->    
   /usr/bin/automake-1.9   
      
   So you simply re-create the correct links:   
   $ sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/automake /etc/alternatives/automake   
   $ sudo ln -sf /etc/alternatives/automake  /usr/bin/automake1.9
