bug#30631: Automake 1.6 fails to build with perl 5.18.2

[Torsten Seemann]

Hello,

I have found the same bug as you (and have a solution)

The problem is that automake 1.16 is importing the function "none" from perl List::Util module.

Unfortunately,  "none" was only added to that module in v 1.33 and Perl 5.18 has an older version.

This only occurs in "bin/automake.in"

The simplest patch is for the authors to change 

use List::Util 'none'

=>

use List::Util 'any'

And replace their use of the function (only one case) as so:

&& none { 

=>

&& ! any {

I can't seem to find an online bug tracker for automake so I am guessing the mailing list I

found your message on is all there is?

If so, could you please pass this on to the maintainers?

Best,

Torsten
