[New-bugs-announce] [issue44035] Regenerating the configure script fails even if dependencies are satisfied

[Pablo Galindo Salgado]

New submission from Pablo Galindo Salgado <pablogsal at gmail.com>:

I have installed autoconf-archive and autoconf 2.69 and tried to regenerate the configure script and it fails:


$ ls /share/aclocal/ax_* | wc -l
572

$ autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.69
