Description:   Opened: 2004-10-09 02:35 0000 
After I reinstalled autoconf-2.59-r4 WANT_AUTOCONF=?.? syntax
doesn't work any more. Looking though /usr/bin/autoconf script,
it reads WANT_AUTOCONF_2_1 and WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5,
but AFAIK this syntax is deprecated. If this change is not intentional,
please go back to the previous state. sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r4 is 
the only autoconf available at the moment.

Clearly, this is a pretty major problem, as it prevents installation of KDE and
emacs on a new system.  The emacs ebuild apparently does not manage to force
the 2.1 version of autoconf (bug 66741), and one of the prerequisites of KDE
(cups, I think) fails to force 2.5.

for cups, edit the ebuild, in "src_unpack()"
change:

WANT_AUTOCONF=2.5 autoconf || die
to:
WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5=1 autoconf || die
hth

thats not a solution.. well.. for cups you can WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5=1 emerge cups,
but theres libungif and others too.

------- Comment #4 From Jakob Schiotz 2004-10-09 10:46:04 0000 ------- 
Sure, there are workarounds.  But is there a good reason for changing the
syntax?  I guess that either autoconf should be fixed or all ebuilds should be
checked (grep?) for the wrong syntax and fixed.

ok, this looks like a problem with cvs ... for some reason, cvs didnt take the
updated version of the autoconf wrapper

i'll fix up cvs and push out -r5

upgrade to autoconf-2.59-r5

this bug would have affected only people that emerged -r4 in the last ~5 days
