DetailsDescription:
https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/aalib/-/commit/3a3a095940077e346f9 has removed a patch to an aalib autoconf file that essentially did this: ``` -AC_DEFUN(AM_PATH_AALIB, +AC_DEFUN([AM_PATH_AALIB], ``` Apparently, this patch was there for a reason. After the update to aalib 1.4rc5-16, I get this whenever I run `autoreconf` (also in projects totally unrelated to aalib!): ``` /usr/share/aclocal/aalib.m4:12: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_AALIB /usr/share/aclocal/aalib.m4:12: run info Automake 'Extending aclocal' /usr/share/aclocal/aalib.m4:12: or see https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#Extending-aclocal ``` |

Because I build things that require me to run it.
> Aren't they just warnings? What actual problem is this causing?
Some projects use `autoreconf -Werror`, so this warning becomes an error, and as a consequence I can't build those projects (note that these projects don't use aalib, the warning/error just happens because the file is present on the system).
