Bug 33836 – coreutils build requires >=automake-1.7.6

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ben Maas 2003-11-19 09:41:43 UTC]

Coreutils is not updating properly on a box that hadn't been booted in several 
months.  It appears that the dependancy for sys-devel/automake should be changed 
to >=sys-devel/automake-1.7.6. 
 
Automake does show up in "emerge system" but after coreutils.  Adding the above 
dependancy fixes the problem. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Machine has <automake-1.7.6 
2. emerge coreutils 
Actual Results:  
moria ~ # emerge system 
<snip/> 
Copying file config/mkinstalldirs 
Copying file po/Makefile.in.in 
configure.ac:9: require Automake 1.7.6, but have 1.7.5 
autoreconf-2.57: automake failed with exit status: 1 
 
!!! ERROR: sys-apps/coreutils-5.0.91-r1 failed. 
!!! Function src_compile, Line 99, Exitcode 1

in cvs

mholzer, not cool.  This breaks alpha, ppc, hppa and ia64.  You need to be more careful.  Now we have to clean up.

[Comment 3 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) 2003-11-21 11:58:43 UTC]

sorry for this, should i made this undone ?

[Comment 4 Aron Griffis (RETIRED) 2003-11-21 14:08:21 UTC]

I think we should leave it at this point.  I fixed for alpha and ia64.
hppa and ppc will need to fix it on their own.  However you might want to 
bring their attention to the problem before a user does.. ;-)  I added
them to the cc list but that might not be enough.

[Comment 5 Guy Martin (RETIRED) 2003-11-21 14:18:59 UTC]

Fixed on hppa. I think vapier did it when a user told him :)

[Comment 6 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) 2003-11-21 15:09:43 UTC]

i hope bug 24160 gets fixed shortly

[Comment 7 Aron Griffis (RETIRED) 2003-11-22 07:27:43 UTC]

Yeah Martin, I agree.  That would have caught this problem.
