Bugzilla Bug 148273

While doing the initial build multiple failures with a number of packages.  Off
the top of my head were popt, multiple packages in xorg and now sgml-common. 
All asking for different versions of automake.  The only way around the issue
is to emerge what aclocal is complaining about.  Seems something is broken with
the new portage tree.

Example error of the latest while emerge for kde -

Fixed in -r5 which now sets WANT_AUTOMAKE to 1.4 at the right place, thanks for
reporting.

*** Bug 150758 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Eh, the stable version is still broken (and the DEPEND is redundant,
WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.4 already takes care of the dependencies via autotools.eclass.

The installer is STILL BROKEN though... from LiveCD?  How do you fix that so
that I can install from LiveCD??

Well yes, the fix wasn't magically added to the LiveCD. I'm afraid there is
nothing we can do to fix it directly (except wait for the new release, that is)
but if you sync portage at some point during the install, you'll have the new
version and should be fine. 
I don't know what will happen with the installer though...

Now this fixed in stable version also. Also it's not necessary to put automake
into DEPEND as autotools eclass handles this.
