Bugzilla Bug 155516

oggtst will not ever install if a version of automake in the 1.4 branch isn't
installed. Since that branch is no longer depended upon by anything in the
system profile the package cannot be installed by default. Furthermore, if one
were to install the needed version of automake it could still be removed by
doing depclean or something similar to remove unneeded packages.

1) Verify that automake-1.4.* is not installed by doing
emerge -pv =sys-devel/automake-1.4*

2) Verify that it is not currently depended by anything by doing
emerge world -NDpv | grep automake

3) emerge oggtst

4) emerge =sys-devel/automake-1.4*
5) emerge oggtst
installs fine

emerge --info

The following change to the ebuild fixes the issue for me.

diff oggtst-0.0.ebuild oggtst-0.0.ebuild.orig 
15,16c15
<       >=media-libs/libvorbis-1.0_rc2
<       =sys-devel/automake-1.4*"

>       >=media-libs/libvorbis-1.0_rc2"

Fixed, thanks.
