When trying to merge ethereal-0.99.0 this is the message I get: alculating dependencies... done! >>> Emerging (1 of 1) net-analyzer/ethereal-0.99.0 to / >>> checking ebuild checksums ;-) >>> checking auxfile checksums ;-) >>> checking miscfile checksums ;-) >>> checking ethereal-0.99.0.tar.bz2 ;-) >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking ethereal-0.99.0.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/ethereal-0.99.0/work * Applying ethereal-0.99.0-as-needed.patch ...

Failed Running automake ! !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. The file referenced contains the following: ***** automake ***** configure.in:11: version mismatch. This is Automake 1.9.6, configure.in:11: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE configure.in:11: comes from Automake 1.9.2. You should recreate configure.in:11: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again. From what I can see, the automake-wrapper is supposed to find the correct version of automake to use. I don't currently have automake-1.9.2 installed and it doesn't appear to be available in portage (I can see versions 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 and 1.9.6-r2, but no 1.9.2*)
My results differ. With automake-1.9.6-r2 emerged, I get: * Automake used for the package (1.9.2) differs from * the installed version (1.9.6). ... and an otherwise error-free emerge of ethereal-0.99.0.
Here's my list of installed automake (from "equery list automake"): [ Searching for package 'automake' in all categories among: ] * installed packages [I--] [ ] sys-devel/automake-1.4_p6 (1.4) [I--] [ ] sys-devel/automake-1.5 (1.5) [I--] [ ] sys-devel/automake-1.6.3 (1.6) [I--] [ ] sys-devel/automake-1.7.9-r1 (1.7) [I--] [ ] sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r3 (1.8) [I--] [ ] sys-devel/automake-1.9.6-r2 (1.9) [I--] [ ] sys-devel/automake-wrapper-1-r1 (0) I'm open to suggestions.
I discovered I still had a PORTDIR_OVERLAY set. Corrected. Now no problems.
