Looks like the upload matching the latest update and announcement:
	https://cygwin.com/cgit/cygwin-packages/automake1.18/
	https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-announce/2025-July/012398.html
failed to deploy as the package *name* (and *descriptions*), not just version, 
were changed from automake1.18 to automake1.18.1 with a too liberal global edit:
	-NAME="automake1.18"
	-VERSION="1.18"
	+NAME="automake1.18.1"						!
	+VERSION="1.18.1"
	 RELEASE="1"
	 CATEGORY="Devel"
	-SUMMARY="(1.18) a tool for generating GNU-compliant Makefiles"
	+SUMMARY="(1.18.1) a tool for generating GNU-compliant Makefiles" !
	...
but that package name does not match any registered name or maintainer:
automake	ASSI	[tweaked!]
automake1.10	ASSI
automake1.11	ASSI
automake1.12	ASSI
automake1.13	ASSI
automake1.14	ASSI
automake1.15	ASSI
automake1.16	ASSI
automake1.17	ASSI
automake1.18	ASSI
and the master shows only:
