I got an error of missing aclocal-1.16 -I m4 in building my system. I tried to fix it by installing the newest version of automake, but it tells me that my automake is 1.15 which is already the newest version.

I googled it and found the newest version 1.16 of automake is available at "https://git.adelielinux.org/adelie/packages/-/tree/current/system/automake", so it's obvious that my 'automake' is not the newest one and that blocks me from finishing my build for my 'aclocal' is 1.15.

How can I force apt-get to get the newest version of 'automake' from the above link?

automake looks like it's directly installable in your Ubuntu without needing to install any additional dependencies or making your system unstable by changing its software sources. To install the automake package from the Ubuntu 20.04 default repositories (version 1.16) in your Ubuntu open the terminal and type:

wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/a/automake-1.16/automake_1.16.1-4ubuntu6_all.deb
sudo apt install ./automake_1.16.1-4ubuntu6_all.deb

Installing automake 1.16 installs /usr/bin/aclocal-1.16 and /usr/share/aclocal-1.16/make.m4 among other files.
