Yes, it is triggered by new googletest; but the root cause is more subtle.
The easyloggingpp package uses this rule to build gtest:
override_dh_auto_configure:
# We need to build googletest first
mkdir gtest-build
cp -a /usr/src/googletest/googletest gtest-source
dh_auto_configure -Dgtest-source -Bgtest-build
dh_auto_build -Dgtest-source -Bgtest-build
If you look at the "good" build log [1], you'll see that the above code was
actually configuring & building with cmake. With googletest 1.8.1, it flipped
to using automake -- due to the presence of file "configure". Unfortunately,
the autoconf build is broken.
Suggest you add "--buildsystem=cmake" to the dh_auto_configure line. Then it
builds fine with googletest 1.8.1.
Best,
