[Bug 942185] Re: Can't build grub2 1.99-14ubuntu2 sources with automake 1.11.3

[zebulon]

I have the same issue on my project that I developed around 3 years ago with a similarly aged automake, autoconf, libtool software.
The source code can be found here:
https://github.com/zebulon427/artridis
Any way round this without downgrading these software?
Cheers

Title:
  Can't build grub2 1.99-14ubuntu2 sources with automake  1.11.3

Status in GRand Unified Bootloader:
  Fix Released
Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  It looks like the latest ubuntu version of automake (1.11.3) can't
  build the source code for grub due to pkglib being changed to pkgdata.
  It builds fine with automake 1.11.1 but downgrading is not an option
  for me.  Any info on when the source code will be changed to use the
  new variable?

  The exact error messages are:
