Bug 114680 – failure to emerge gnome, Automake-1.7 is Missing. X11-libs/gtk+2.6.10r-1 failed

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Richard Broersma Jr. 2005-12-06 17:29:53 UTC]

I am tring to emerge gnome and gnome-themes-extras.  However, the emerge 
utility fails right after applying gtk+-2.6-smoothscroll-r5.patch.bz2.  It 
says that /usr/bin/automake-1.7 is missing.

However I only have automake-1.8 and automake-1.9 in that location.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set use variables according to the discription in the Gentoo docs 
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gnome-config.xml
2.emerge gentoo
3.wait for failure

Actual Results:  
emerge fails at like 65 with and Exit code 1.  The returns the command prompt.

Expected Results:  
emerge gnome without any failures

            Please try emerging the correct version of automake.

Well, so don't unmerge it next time (with emerge prune or so, I guess...)
sys-devel/automake-wrapper is in base profile and depends on automake-1.7*, so
this should be installed on every system. Re-emerge automake-wrapper.

Not a gtk+ bug, INVALID.

Your are correct.

Thank you for your help.
