Subject: automake 1.15.1 path issue
Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2018 17:12:08 +0000

Hi,


I've installed automake 1.15.1 into a path containing the @ symbol 
(Jenkins pipeline build), on running aclocal in my package the script 
fails with a perl error:


Setting up aclocal
Possible unintended interpolation of @1 in string at /tmp/@1/bin/aclocal 
line 72.
aclocal: error: couldn't open directory '/tmp//share/aclocal-1.15': No 
such file or directory


Looking at aclocal line 72 I believe the path has been enclosed in the 
incorrect quotes, I've included a patch below which resolves the issue.
