I always wonder with these errors I they are my fault or just me living on the bleeding edge. /usr/portage/net-misc/openssh/openssh-4.3_p2-r3.ebuild: line 90: autoconf: command not found !!!

> sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.60 Eh? Don't see how are you missing the dependency, it's also in the ebuild. Re-emerge autoconf and autoconf-wrapper and try again.
The autoconf-wrapper thing did the trick. I thought an emerge -e world would help me out. But that didn't work because of other incidents (ex. my GCC broke again - in the middle of the merge). (btw. going to close the apache bug too...)
