Bug 102039 – automake not listed as dependancy

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alex Beregszaszi 2005-08-10 12:18:43 UTC]

Hi,

I run a minimalistic gentoo system, installing packages which are really needed.

It looks like automake is mandatory for GTK-2.6.8 and was not listed. I'm not
sure about the required automake version, but it worked with 1.7.9 under powerpc.

Here's the patch:

isn't automake a part of 'system'? 

emerge -ep system | grep automake | awk -- '{print $4}'

Both sys-devel/automake sys-devel/automake-wrapper are in
/usr/portage/profiles/base/packages; automake-wrapper depends on automake-1.7*.
If you ended up without it (like you unmerged it etc.), it's not Gentoo fault.

I have never unmerged anything on the system. Anyway, thanks for the "nice" 
answer.
