autoconf-archive-2019.01.06 breaks AX_CODE_COVERAGE usage by requiring a different integration inside Makefile.am. This would be fine if the local m4/ax_code_coverage.m4 would get used, but eaclocal parses out the install from ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS, and calls aclocal with that, which overwrites ax_code_coverage.m4 with the newer version, obviously breaking the usage of all that in Makefile.am. Workaround it by patching out the --install argument, thus using the tarball copy of it (older version), which works with Makefile.am without further patching. --- a/Makefile.am +++ b/Makefile.am @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ SUBDIRS = . po docs gdata/tests -ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = --install -I m4 ${ACLOCAL_FLAGS} +ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4 ${ACLOCAL_FLAGS} DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS = MAINTAINERCLEANFILES =
