When emerging media-libs/a52dec-0.7.4-r5, it fails with this message Failed Running aclocal ! * * Include in your bugreport the contents of: * * /var/tmp/portage/a52dec-0.7.4-r5/temp/aclocal-1907.out This file contains: ***** aclocal ***** am-wrapper: /usr/bin/aclocal-1.4 is missing or not executable. Please try emerging the correct version of automake. a52dec should therefore depend on aclocal-1.4 However, I ln -s aclocal 1.9 to aclocal 1.4 and was able to compile a52dec successfully. Therefore I suggest to change a52dec to use whatever installed aclocal there is. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge unmerge aclocal-1.4 2.emerge a52dec 3. Actual Results: Complaints about missing aclocal 1.4 Expected Results: a52dec should have found aclocal-current and compile correctly.
(In reply to comment #0) > Steps to Reproduce: > 1.emerge unmerge aclocal-1.4 > 2.emerge a52dec Then don't do such stupid things; automake is part of base profile (see /usr/portage/profile/base/packages), as well as automake-wrapper, which RDEPENDS on automake-1.4* (and other needed automake versions).
