Sounds like, for whatever reason, the postinstall scripts were never 
executed.  Take a look at /var/lib/alternatives/automake. It should look 
something like this:

-----------clip----------
auto
/usr/bin/automake
aclocal
/usr/bin/aclocal
automake-info
/usr/share/info/automake.info.gz

/usr/bin/automake-1.4

/usr/bin/aclocal-1.4

/usr/bin/automake-1.6

/usr/bin/aclocal-1.6

/usr/bin/automake-1.7

/usr/bin/aclocal-1.7

/usr/bin/automake-1.8

/usr/bin/aclocal-1.8

/usr/bin/automake-1.9

/usr/bin/aclocal-1.9
/usr/share/info/automake1.9.info.gz
