Description Florian Weimer 2023-06-19 15:42:48 UTC 
The automake-1.16.2-6.el9 package was built against dejagnu-1:1.6.1-11.el9, but we now have dejagnu-1.6.3-2.el9, so I believe we need to backport this automake commit to fix a testsuite failure:

commit 7e50be6bce6b662d27e3049170282aaddaaee791

    tests: use testsuite/ directory in DejaGnu tests
    
    Patch posted:
    https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2021-07/msg00009.html
    
    * t/check12.sh: Consistently use the directory name, testsuite/,
    for all DejaGnu tests, and always use recursive make to run
    DejaGnu, for backward and forward compatibility.
    * t/dejagnu3.sh: Likewise.
    * t/dejagnu4.sh: Likewise.
    * t/dejagnu5.sh: Likewise.
    * t/dejagnu6.sh: Likewise.
    * t/dejagnu7.sh: Likewise.
    * t/dejagnu-absolute-builddir.sh: Likewise.
    * t/dejagnu-relative-srcdir.sh: Likewise.
    * t/dejagnu-siteexp-extend.sh: Likewise.
    * t/dejagnu-siteexp-useredit.sh: Likewise.
    * NEWS: mention this.
    * THANKS: new contributor.

In particular, the NEWS file says this:

+  - DejaGnu tests always use the directory name testsuite/, for
+    compatibility with the newer dejagnu-1.6.3 and with prior versions.

So I believe this is the right commit.
