Description Frédéric Bérat 2022-11-17 13:16:13 UTC 
Autoconf 2.72 seems to be under preparation upstream, I therefore started to build dependent components to verify that they can be built once it lands in Fedora.

Your component fails to build with the new version of autoconf, due to the following error:

---

AMU: prepare acinclude.m4...
AMU: autoreconf...
am-utils requires autoconf 2.69 or 2.71, you have:
	autoreconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.72c.47-75861
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.SNwjVi (%prep)
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.SNwjVi (%prep)
---

Please adapt your component so that it support Autoconf 2.72.
Comment 1 Ian Kent 2023-03-13 03:38:54 UTC 
AFAICT there isn't any way to get either a source or binary rpm of 2.72 that is
appropriate for Fedora rawhide.

If/when one is available I will have a look at what needs to be done.
Comment 2 Frédéric Bérat 2024-02-16 06:36:34 UTC 
Autoconf 2.72 has been merged into rawhide.
Comment 3 Aoife Moloney 2025-02-26 12:52:50 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 42 development cycle.
Changing version to 42.
