Hi @petaflot

auto_use is a Conan 1.X configuration, that doesn't exist anymore in Conan 2.
But it seems you are using Conan 2, so it is complaining that such an unknown configuration is provided. Please make sure to either remove that configuration (if you intend to use Conan 2), or to make sure that Conan 1 is installed.
