You can install the version you need easily:

First get source:

$ wget https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.15.tar.gz

Unpack it:

$ tar -xzvf automake-1.15.tar.gz

Build and install:

$ cd automake-1.15
$ ./configure  --prefix=/opt/aclocal-1.15
$ make
$ sudo mkdir -p /opt
$ sudo make install

Use it:

$ export PATH=/opt/aclocal-1.15/bin:$PATH
$ aclocal --version

aclocal (GNU automake) 1.15

Now when aclocal is called, you get the right version.
