This is documented in https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Serials.html where the last paragraph says: "Finally, note that the --force option of aclocal has absolutely no effect on the files installed by --install. For instance, if you have modified your local macros, do not expect --install --force to replace the local macros by their system-wide versions. If you want to do so, simply erase the local macros you want to revert, and run ‘aclocal --install’." Bruno
