This may be caused by specifying "automake111x" in the Nix expression:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hydra-recipes.git/tree/inetutils/release.nix#n77

Currently "automake" seems to mean "automake116x" for Automake version
1.16.x.  Additionally there seem to be specific Nix packages for versions
1.11.x ("automake111x") and 1.15.x ("automake115x") available, see:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/master/pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix

I would suggest to change the relevant Nix expression to use "automake"
and see if this helps.

HTH,
Erik
