Bugzilla Bug 160274

During a "world" update on my desktop,

>>> Emerging (1 of 65) gnome-base/gnome-session-2.16.1 to /
[...]
 * Running autoheader ...                                              [ ok ]
 * Running automake --add-missing --copy ...                           [ !! ]
 * Failed Running automake !

 * Include in your bugreport the contents of:

 *   /var/tmp/portage/gnome-session-2.16.1/temp/automake-1530.out

...automake-1530.out shows:

***** automake *****

configure.in:4: version mismatch.  This is Automake 1.10,
configure.in:4: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
configure.in:4: comes from Automake 1.9.6.  You should recreate
configure.in:4: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again.

I checked, and I have several versions of automake on my system:

mjinks@evil:~$ equery l automake

I don't really understand automake, does the package need to specify which
version it calls?
