[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello,

I have found the same bug as you (and have a solution)

The problem is that automake 1.16 is importing the function "none" from
perl List::Util module.
Unfortunately,  "none" was only added to that module in v 1.33 and Perl
5.18 has an older version.
This only occurs in "bin/automake.in"

The simplest patch is for the authors to change

use List::Util 'none'
=>
use List::Util 'any'

And replace their use of the function (only one case) as so:

&& none {
=>
&& ! any {

I can't seem to find an online bug tracker for automake so I am guessing
the mailing list I
found your message on is all there is?

If so, could you please pass this on to the maintainers?

Best,

Torsten
