configure.ac:12: error: version mismatch.  This is Automake 1.16.1,
configure.ac:12: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
configure.ac:12: comes from Automake 1.16.2.  You should recreate
configure.ac:12: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again.
WARNING: 'automake-1.16' is probably too old.
         You should only need it if you modified 'Makefile.am' or
         'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
         The 'automake' program is part of the GNU Automake package:
         <https://www.gnu.org/software/automake>
         It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:
         <https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf>
         <https://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
         <https://www.perl.org/>

remerging the previous version (2.6.4) of harfbuzz works just fine.

From what I can see:

1.  harfbuzz 2.6.5 should depend on >=automake-1.16.2
2.  harfbuzz 2.6.5 can't be stable until automake 1.16.2

Reproducible: Always
