you need to upgrade conan, cf https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/blob/master/recipes/m4/all/conanfile.py#L10 The error message is unfortunately not pointing into this direction :/

@ericLemanissier IIRC 1.52.0 (or 1.53.0) will read required_conan_version first to avoid this kind of error

[ericLemanissier]

this one can probably be closed,now that https://github.com/conan-io/conan/pull/11908 has been released with conan 1.52.0

Closing this as looks fixed, please feel free to reopen if you have more issues.
