New description:

 Attempted to build
   lftp @4.8.3
 which installed automake as a dependency. The build of lftp failed with
 the following messages:
 {{{
        Error: Failed to build lftp: command execution failed
        Error: See \
 /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_net_lftp/lftp/main.log
 \
        for details.
        Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report
 a bug.
        Error: Processing of port lftp failed
 }}}

 Inspecting file ``.../main.log'' referenced above found the following
 lines:
 {{{
     :info:build
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_net_lftp/lftp/work/lftp-4.8.3
 /build-aux/missing: line 81: automake-1.15: command not found
     :info:build WARNING: 'automake-1.15' is missing on your system.
     :info:build          You should only need it if you modified
 'Makefile.am' or
     :info:build          'configure.ac' or m4 files included by
 'configure.ac'.
     :info:build          The 'automake' program is part of the GNU
 Automake package:
     :info:build          <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake>
     :info:build          It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in
 order to run:

     :info:build          <http://www.perl.org/>
     :info:build make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1
 }}}

 As I mentioned, automake was installed as a dependency. Checking shows the
 following:
 {{{
     $ which automake
     /opt/local/bin/automake

     $ automake --version

 }}}

 Checking whether version 1.15 was available showed the following:
 {{{
     $ port info 'automake*'
 }}}
         -- output shows the following:
 {{{
                 automake @1.16.1 (devel)
                 automake17 @1.7.9_2 (devel)
 }}}

 Checking the bug tracker found the following:

     #54523 closed defect (duplicate)

     Port "lftp" fails due to version mismatch


     Duplicate of #54491

 Following the link to #54491 shows the following:

     #54491 closed defect (fixed)

     lftp @ 4.7.7.1 automake version error


 I now am finding the bug with lftp @4.8.3, so this bug seems to keep
 returning from the dead.
