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

Under Debian/unstable, when testing the automake Git version
(80714ea0aba62f025780f432abfbab2e66f6f801), remake-after-aclocal-m4
is one of the two tests that fail.

I've attached the t/remake-after-aclocal-m4.log file.

    remake-after-aclocal-m4
    is one of the two tests that fail.

    I've attached the t/remake-after-aclocal-m4.log file.

Thanks. I wonder if this and aclocal-I-and-install fail consistently for
you. There is a timing issue with development automake that requires
development autoconf (for a one-character fix in autom4te). Info:
https://bugs.gnu.org/64756.

That's my first guess, since the tests do not fail for me or others
(under -j), using development autoconf. Inserting a fallback fix so that
dev autoconf is not required is one of the required things for making
the next automake release.  --thanks, karl.

Indeed, these are random failures.
