What is your version of autoconf ?
If it's 2.63, do you have autoconf-wrapper-6 installed ?

 Autoconf Installed versions:  2.13(2.1)(00:00:37 08/10/06) 2.63(2.5)(10:01:22 09/22/08)(-emacs)
Autoconf-wrapper Installed versions:  5(20:11:04 04/11/08)

so no, I don't have version 6

[Comment 4 Josef Reidinger 2008-09-22 12:23:44 UTC]

after upgrade to wrapper -6 it works.

That's the problem with mixing software branches... Feel free to close this bug at will. :)

I disagree I use only testing branch and this happen during emerge -au world, so during normal update.

[Comment 7 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) 2008-09-22 19:32:04 UTC]

sys-devel/autoconf-2.63 should rdepend on >=sys-devel/autoconf-wrapper-6.

[Comment 8 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2008-09-24 04:18:52 UTC]

Maybe.

[Comment 9 SpanKY 2008-09-25 00:12:51 UTC]

fixed in cvs

[Comment 10 Marc Finet 2008-09-27 17:00:19 UTC]

Shouldn't libtool depends on >=sys-devel/autoconf-wrapper-6 or >=sys-devel/autoconf-2.63 ?
I experienced the same problem as Original Poster and autoconf-2.63 was correctly depending on autoconf-wrapper-6 (i checked the ebuild) but i had to emerge of autoconf-wrapper by hand. Ok i already had autoconf 2.63 emerged (without the autoconf-wrapper-6 dependancy) but if someone has autoconf 2.62 not sure dependency on autoconf-wrapper will be applied...
