That's because of https://sources.debian.org/src/ekg2/1:0.4%7Epre+20120506.1-14/debian/rules/#L7 ------- # As recommended by "current Debian best practice" prescribed by autotools-dev, # we specify an explicit automake version export AUTOMAKE=automake-1.15 ------- autoreconf will try to use the older automake even though it isn't a build-dependency. This has happened before: https://bugs.debian.org/797230 https://bugs.debian.org/722607 Note: I think the comment is referring to https://sources.debian.org/src/autotools-dev/20180224.1/debian/autotools-dev.README.Debian/#L168 Cheers, Juhani
