lftp @ 4.7.7.1 automake version error

[almage (Roy Miller)]

lftp fails to build, the definition of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE is from automake 1.15, while the current version of automake is 1.15.1_0.

snippet of lftp main log says:

:info:build  cd .. && /bin/sh /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_net_lftp/lftp/work/lftp-4.7.7/build-aux/missing automake-1.15 --gnu src/Makefile
:info:build configure.ac:9: error: version mismatch.  This is Automake 1.15.1,
:info:build configure.ac:9: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
:info:build configure.ac:9: comes from Automake 1.15.  You should recreate
:info:build configure.ac:9: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again.
:info:build WARNING: 'automake-1.15' is probably too old.

I've successfully built lftp, by using a local Port repository containing the automake 1.15 Portfile. This should still be fixed...

Please attach the complete main.log file.

main.log now attached. I had to redo the attempt at compilation/installation on another macOS computer, as I'd already completed the port stack install on the one from which the main.log snippet was pasted into the original ticket. I've now run into this repeatable issue on a half dozen computers.

I have the same issue and it also causes the upgrade instructions for MacPorts to fail (xargs sudo port setrequested < requested.txt requires lftp).
