When I tried to reproduce the problem, I failed because I removed only 'automake' from my environment. I also needed to remove 'aclocal' to reproduce the problem. One way to address this issue is to say that maintainers should have automake installed. That's normal for other packages, but I'd rather minimize changes to the assumptions for Emacs. So, another way is to revisit (again) the decision to omit aclocal.m4 from the repository. If we put aclocal.m4 in the repository, we won't have this problem, because we won't need to run aclocal to generate it. Perhaps at some point we will assume that maintainers have automake installed, and we can then go back and revisit (again!) whether aclocal.m4 should be in the repository. For now I made this change: aclocal.m4: put this file back into repository This way, we don't have to assume that the maintainer has the automake package installed.
