Hello.

I get the error in the Subject when I try to build the Debian alpine package
from source on a Debian unstable chroot.

Inside an unstable chroot with the build-depends already installed, these are the
steps to reproduce:

apt-get source alpine
cd alpine-2.26+dfsg
dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -b

and this is what happens:

[...]
aclocal: overwriting 'm4/lib-ld.m4' with '/usr/share/aclocal/lib-ld.m4'
aclocal: overwriting 'm4/lib-link.m4' with '/usr/share/aclocal/lib-link.m4'

make: *** [debian/rules:49: binary] Error 255

Note that there may be more than one issue here, as the package still needs
to be fixed for make 4.4.x:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1089250

However, this error is new and it says "Please contact <bug-automake@HIDDEN>"
so I think you might be interested nevertheless.

Thanks.

Hi Santiago,

  at /usr/share/automake-1.16/Automake/Channels.pm line 655.

The current version of Automake is 1.17. Hopefully you can try against
that.  I seem to remember some sort of bug relating to that "too many
loops" error, but who knows.

    apt-get source alpine
    cd alpine-2.26+dfsg
    dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -b

I'm sorry, but I can't reproduce anything this way. I don't use Debian.
Please make a tarball of the necessary files, if 1.17 doesn't fix
it. (Or the whole thing if necessary, although obviously the smaller the
better from my point of view.) --thanks, karl.
