CVS automake manpages uninstall problem with extension change

[Nicolas Joly]

Hi,

I just noticed that, in some cases, `make uninstall' fails to remove
previously installed man pages. This appears with manpages extension
renaming, for CVS automake and latest release 1.7.1.

Here follow a small example to illustrate this problem :

address@hidden [tmp/automake]> cat configure.ac 
AC_INIT([dummy], [0.0])
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile])
AC_OUTPUT
address@hidden [tmp/automake]> cat Makefile.am 
man1_MANS = foo.man
address@hidden [tmp/automake]> aclocal
address@hidden [tmp/automake]> automake -a -c --foreign
configure.ac: installing `./install-sh'
configure.ac: installing `./mkinstalldirs'
configure.ac: installing `./missing'
address@hidden [tmp/automake]> autoconf
address@hidden [tmp/automake]> : > foo.man

address@hidden [tmp/automake]> ./configure --prefix=/tmp
checking for a BSD-compatible install... ./install-sh -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... no
checking for nawk... nawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
address@hidden [tmp/automake]> gmake install 
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/home/njoly/tmp/automake'
gmake[1]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'.
/bin/ksh ./mkinstalldirs /tmp/man/man1
 ./install-sh -c -m 644 ./foo.man /tmp/man/man1/foo.1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/njoly/tmp/automake'
address@hidden [tmp/automake]> gmake uninstall 
 rm -f /tmp/man/man1/foo.man

The file `foo.1' is installed, but `foo.man' is removed.

I made a small patch to correct this ...

Thanks in advance,
Regards.
