Arch Linux

Description:

findutils will not build without SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH set. The dates in the tarball are such that the build will try and automatically remake some of the build configuration files. This means that if the installed autotools version doesn't match that used to generate the files then the build will fail. This can be fixed by running autoreconf before building (see attached patch).

Additional info:

Package version: 4.6.0

WARNING: 'aclocal-1.14' is missing on your system.
You should only need it if you modified 'acinclude.m4' or
'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
The 'aclocal' program is part of the GNU Automake package:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/automake>
It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:

<http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
<http://www.perl.org/>
make[1]: *** [Makefile:1681: aclocal.m4] Error 127

Steps to reproduce:

$ unset SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
$ makechrootpkg -r /var/lib/archbuild/extra-x86_64 -c -n
