OK, this one unpacks fine. 1) The error occurs in directory libopts/, which contains a hand-made use of gnulib modules - without use of gnulib-tool. This is not supported, because internals of modules can change without notice. Instead, please take a look at this documentation section: https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/Multiple-instances.html#Multiple-instances 2) You hand-imported module 'stdnoreturn'. But it depends on module 'snippets/_Noreturn'. You didn't hand-import this module correctly. Namely, the 'Files: lib/_Noreturn.h' should translate into an action of yours that copies gnulib/lib/_Noreturn.h to libopts/_Noreturn.h. 3) The EXTRA_DIST addition in libopts/Makefile.am is correct. gnulib-tool would do it for you, but you chose to do it by hand. 4) Later on, "make dist" fails with make[4]: Entering directory '/tmp/gnu-pw-mgr-v2.4-dirty/doc' cp: cannot stat './gnu-pw-mgr.1': No such file or directory That's your turn again. Unrelated to gnulib. Bruno
