It is always the same problem. KDE needs some stuff, KOffice suffers the 
consequences. (And always without warning.)

If really automake 1.5 is out of scope for BSD, you should talk to Stephan 
Kulow ( mailto:coolo@kde.org ) and CC the Core Devel Mailing List 
mailto:kde-core-devel@kde.org because you would need it too to build KDE 3.2 
(Stephan made the change.)

However as KOffice 1.3 is supposed to be after KDE 3.2 as far as I know, I do 
not know if it is really important or not. (Automake is much easier to update 
compared to for example QT.)

Have a nice day/evening/night!
