nobase-python: running python -V
Python 3.12.0
...
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'imp'
Looks like the failing tests are all Python-related, at least several
with the above error. I don't think Python 3.12 was even released at the
time of automake 1.16.5. I don't know what exactly is going wrong, but
there has been quite a bit of work on the Python support for the next
release.
If you don't need Python support, you can just ignore the failing tests
and go ahead and install automake anyway.
If you do need Python support, I can only suggest trying the
development source. I hope we will have at least a pretest ready soon,
but nothing is available yet.

Hope this helps,
