This is a new install from 1.2: While doing an emerge -u world, autoconf
failed:

for possibly more information.

Try it like so:  FEATURES="-sandbox" emerge autoconf

Exact same error. I thought sandbox errors came up as a red box with access
violations? (The one I saw before, in newt, was like that, anyway. :-)

Like I mentioned, this started out as a 1.2, could there be a version mismatch
somewhere? Should I try to emerge -u something else first? (That said, I did
almost the same thing just over a week ago on another machine with no errors,
this is a HP Omnibook 4100 that I'm prepping for a life as a picture frame. ;-)

What version of portage ?

portage 2.0.46-r4

*** Bug 13137 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

What version of texinfo ?

  # makeinfo --version

makeinfo (GNU textinfo) 4.0

Anticipating your next suggestion, I did an <i>emerge texinfo</I> to upgrade it
to the current version (4.3) and after that, <I>emerge autoconf</I> worked too.
Thanks! :-)

However, I'm leaving the bug as ASSIGNED since it's probably a good idea to do
something about autoconf's and groff's emerge dependencies.

Yep, just marked it stable, thanks :)

Fixed autoconf to depend on texinfo-4.3 or later.
