  After automake package installation don't forget to update your /etc/alternatives/automake and /etc/alternatives/aclocal symlinks (tested on Ubuntu).

 $ sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/automake-1.7 /etc/alternatives/automake
 $ sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/aclocal-1.7 /etc/alternatives/aclocal
  -->
 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2007-06-27 21:43 /etc/alternatives/aclocal -> /usr/bin/aclocal-1.7
 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2007-06-27 21:39 /etc/alternatives/automake -> /usr/bin/automake-1.7
