automake-1.11.2 fails txinfo21.test when running src_test. Manually running txinfo21.test shows it is most likely a bug in the test: make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/automake-1.11.2/work/automake-1.11.2/tests/txinfo21.dir' + test -d main.html + test -d sub/main2.html + test -d rec/main3.html + is_newest main.html main.texi ++ find main.html main.texi -newer main.html + is_newest_files=main.html/index.html + test -z main.html/index.html + exit_status=1 That corresponds to the following in txinfo21.test: # Test production of split-per-node HTML. $MAKE html test -d main.html test -d sub/main2.html test -d rec/main3.html # Rebuilding main.html should cause its timestamp to be updated. is_newest main.html main.texi is_newest is defined in "defs" as: is_newest () { is_newest_files=`find "$@" -newer "$1"` test -z "$is_newest_files" } Which means that if the supposedly-newest thing passed to is_newest is a directory and any of the files inside it are newer than the directory the test fails, which does not seem intentional (note main.html *is* newer than main.texi). Applying the change from http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=automake.git;a=commitdiff;h=b6a40fa2d2c08f71f9aeced063a36a27f657da6b to defs.in (adding -prune to the find invocation) and rerunning config.status makes txinfo21.test pass. I have not rerun the rest of the testsuite.

This is fixed in current automake (between 1.11.3 and 1.11.4, I think). Closing.
