This is actually a good point.  When you upgrade your build system to
a new Automake version, you should run automake with the "--force" option,
to ensure that the automake-installed scripts are updated even if they
are already present in the build tree.  But if you fail to do so, you
don't get any warning, which is not very user-friendly and can cause such
hard-to-spot errors.

Any idea for a simple solution to this problem?

Regards,
  Stefano
