No current Autoconf release includes the fix[1] to ignore SHLVL in the test suite. Current versions of devuan ship bash-5.2 which is probably why this failure is happening. Devuan, like debian, ships a crippled dash (with broken $LINENO) as /bin/sh so Autoconf's test suite by default re-execs itself with /bin/bash and then hits all these problems. This might be a sufficient workaround: % make check run_testsuite='CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/sh /bin/sh tests/testsuite -C tests MAKE=$(MAKE)' [1] https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=autoconf.git;a=commitdiff;h=412166e185c00d6eacbe67dfcb0326f622ec4020 Cheers, Nick
