reassign 906744 automake quit geda-gaf and dico FTBFS on Debian after automake got updated to 1.16, as the following happens during build[2]:
Making all in scheme-api
make[4]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/docs/scheme-api'
Updating ./version.texi
make[4]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/docs/scheme-api'
which later triggers rebuild of info files during 'make check':

Adding texinfo to build-dep would get around the FTBFS, but I
am not convinced with it. Could you advise me us as whether this is a
problem in automake 1.16 or something needs to be fixed in dico &
geda-gaf build scripts, or if adding texinfo to build-deps is actually
the proper way to go ?
