Hi, with automake-1.16, code like > AM_PATH_PYTHON([$PYTHON_VERSION]) or > AM_PATH_PYTHON([$PYTHON_MIN_VERSION]) as found in https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/blob/master/configure.ac#L506 https://github.com/ImageMagick/PythonMagick/blob/master/configure.ac#L42 doesn't work anymore:

Hi, the problem is line > m4_define_default([am_py_min_ver], m4_ifval([$1], [$1], [2.0])) Code like > AM_PATH_PYTHON([$PYTHON_VERSION]) will result in "am_py_min_ver" set to "$PYTHON_VERSION" which is obviously not a valid value. I.e. the passed argument isn't expanded when used in the macro.

bug#30616: automake-1.16: aclocal is unable to process AM_PATH_PYTHON with variable as value

it fails to bootstrap util-linux too, same error. The following commit seems to be the cause: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/automake.git/commit/m4/python.m4?id=1d60fb72168e62d33fe433380af621de64e22f23 Reverting it solves the issue for me.

Hi, re-sending to bug-automake (first mail was accidentally sent to the normal mailing list). With automake-1.16, code like > AM_PATH_PYTHON([$PYTHON_VERSION]) or > AM_PATH_PYTHON([$PYTHON_MIN_VERSION]) as found in https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/blob/master/configure.ac#L506
