Description Kris Kelley 2003-12-13 15:08:30 UTC 
When trying to emerge the latest stable coreutils, 5.0.91-r2, the process fails with "possibly undefined macro" errors.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  emerge -u coreutils
Actual Results:  
This is displayed on screen:

>>> Source unpacked.
compile
eutils
flag-o-matic

!!! ERROR: sys-apps/coreutils-5.0.91-r2 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 107, Exitcode 1
!!! (no error message)

Expected Results:  
emerge should have installed and/or updated coreutils cleanly.
Comment 1 Lars Weiler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-12-13 15:53:12 UTC 
Upgrade m4 to the latest revision (sys-devel/m4-1.4-r1).
Comment 2 Kris Kelley 2003-12-14 02:02:14 UTC 
That did it, thank you!  However, doesn't that mean m4 should be a dependency of coreutils?  Originally emerge was trying to update m4 after coreutils.
Comment 3 Lars Weiler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-12-14 07:48:17 UTC 
Should be changed, yes.  I have to talk to the core-maintainers.

Nevertheless, this bug is fixed ;)
