This is a simple mismatch of timestamp. change autoconf to autoreconf and your
build will be successful.

Working, thx.

Working, thx.

This actually only fails with autoconf-2.61 which is why base-system is cc'd.

excuse the typo it is 2.62 that causes the problem. All works fine with 2.61

the package unpacks fine for me, but autotools arent run on my system ... and i
dont see any calls to autotools in the ebuild ...

I am not that familiar with that stuff, dealing with mostly Java stuff :(
Please feel free to update ebuild, or comment here about any changes that I
need to make. I have been dialing in or trying to other aspects of the ebuild.
Was syncing it with the -9999 one in an overlay dep wise. But seems there was
some stuff off there. Not sure if it's deps have been updated since. Will go
check.

i dont see anything to update since nothing is broken for me

I love how you see nothing is broken but obviously something is broken as two
users with completely different systems both have eautoconf fail. 

i never once said there wasnt a bug, i said i couldnt reproduce it and couldnt
find where the code in question was being executed.

so, if you dont have anything to contribute, shut it instead of posting
pointless snarky comments.

Surely not closing bug as resolved or etc, atm. But agree with second part of
#10 :) ( Having myself left unproductive comments on other bugs recently )

I could not reproduce. I asked a bit in IRC on -dev, but no one else was sure.
I surely take your word wrt to stuff like that. So really not sure what's
causing this.

Actually now that I am looking at other bugs. We might have a solution on bug
214984, which I am marking this a dup of. Since they are the same, and that one
is older.

These two bugs are not even related. One is an issue with gconf and other is
issue with autoconf.

Yeah my bad, not sure what i was thinking. Confused this with another I already
closed as a dup.

afaik this has been fixed already. If not please provide:
