I am experiencing a similar bug, only for me automake doesn't crash on every invocation. However, it crashes reliably when called from `autoreconf` via a `bootstrap` script (using `autoreconf` directly also doesn't cause the crash).
Inserting some debug statements in the main `automake` script show that the process intends to exit fine with status code 0, but `autoreconf` receives an error code showing that `automake` segfaulted, suggesting that the segfault occurs in the shutdown code. The problem does not appear to be in Perl 5.38.2 per se, since replacing `/usr/bin/perl` with the identical version from Homebrew fixes the bug. So there appears to be something wrong with the Debian/Ubuntu build of Perl, either in the patches or in the compiler toolchain. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2059079 Title: automake crashes on every single call To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/automake-1.16/+bug/2059079/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
