Hi,

         [Please retain the CC to address@hidden so
         that the Debian Bug Tracking system can record your input]

        This problem was reported by a Debian user.  I looked through
 the manual to see if there is any restriction on the stem section of
 a pattern match, but I did not see any prohibitions, so this should
 work.

======================================================================
Consider the following Makefile:

%: bar/%.foo
        @echo success

Suppose that the following files exist:

    bar/a.foo
    bar/b/c.foo

"make a" prints "success", but "make b/c" says:

    make: *** No rule to make target `b/c'.  Stop.

I'm almost certain this used to work.
======================================================================
