I just had to install some Gentoo systems, from stage 1 At each time, when doing the emerge -e system, it failed because of automake, probably a dependency problem. I solved the problem by doing an emerge automake-wrapper before emerge -e system but it is not a normal behaviour by the way. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a new Gentoo system from stage 1 2. Build the bootstrap 3. run emerge -e system for building the stage2 Actual Results: the emerge failed because of automake Expected Results: finish the emerge correctly.
emerge --info and some actual error messages, please. We can't really guess. Which package fails because of missing automake?
