Hi Santiago, at /usr/share/automake-1.16/Automake/Channels.pm line 655.
The current version of Automake is 1.17. Hopefully you can try against that. I seem to remember some sort of bug relating to that "too many loops" error, but who knows. apt-get source alpine cd alpine-2.26+dfsg dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -b I'm sorry, but I can't reproduce anything this way. I don't use Debian. Please make a tarball of the necessary files, if 1.17 doesn't fix it. (Or the whole thing if necessary, although obviously the smaller the better from my point of view.) --thanks, karl.
