Hi, autoconf 2.71 just landed in openSUSE:Factory and it looks like a good 100 more packages are failing now than they did before. I surely didn't look at all of them, but most of them I've seen are basically all the same: calling either autoreconf directly or triggering autoconf through patching input files on very old sources. The general advise is not to do that, but rather append the output of autoconf to a patch. We also have autoconf213 in Factory, which might be more fitting to old projects. Greetings, Stephan
