I get error message when running autoreconf

br flag

Two separate precise servers with the same source code on them are subjected. When I run autoreconf on one of them, I get no error, while on the other, I get the following errors:

Use of uninitialized value $msg in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/bin/autom4te line 1041.

autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1

I compared /usr/bin/autom4te file and found no difference. aclocal version on both systems is 1.11.3. autoreconf version on both systems are 2.68. I've no clue.

Only supported releases of Ubuntu (*standard support*) are on-topic for this site. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS is EOL thus off-topic, and Ubuntu 12.04 ESM was in extended support and only supported by Canonical via Ubuntu Advantage thus also off-topic here. Refer https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades https://fridge.ubuntu.com/2017/03/15/ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin-reaches-end-of-life-on-april-28-2017/

So, where can I ask this question?

Refer to the provided on-topic link; SE *Unix & Linux* allows EOL/ESM releases of Ubuntu, my own *development* release (also off-topic here) as well as any other Unix or GNU/Linux system...

I think the problem is not dependent to the release. Something is wrong in the server which might be the same on the later releases.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
