I recently downgraded from autoconf-2.60 to autoconf-2.59-r7 to performs some tests. I needed to manually downgrade to autoconf-wrapper from 3.2-r2 to 3.2 for autoconf-2.59-r7 to work. autoconf-2.59-r7.ebuild: DEPEND=">=sys-apps/texinfo-4.3 sys-devel/autoconf-wrapper =sys-devel/m4-1.4* dev-lang/perl" Should have =sys-devel/autoconf-wrapper-3.2 # emerge --info Portage 2.1.1-r2 (default-linux/x86/2006.1/desktop, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.4-r4, 2.6.18-ck1-r2 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.18-ck1-r2 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ Gentoo Base System version 1.12.6 Last Sync: Fri, 22 Dec 2006 11:50:01 +0000 app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.30 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5, 2.4.3-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.60 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -msse2 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/bind" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -msse2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer noclean sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo http://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.narmerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow 3dnowext X a52 aac alsa alsa_cards_via82xx alsa_pcm_plugins_adpcm alsa_pcm_plugins_alaw alsa_pcm_plugins_asym alsa_pcm_plugins_copy alsa_pcm_plugins_dmix alsa_pcm_plugins_dshare alsa_pcm_plugins_dsnoop alsa_pcm_plugins_empty alsa_pcm_plugins_extplug alsa_pcm_plugins_file alsa_pcm_plugins_hooks alsa_pcm_plugins_iec958 alsa_pcm_plugins_ioplug alsa_pcm_plugins_ladspa alsa_pcm_plugins_lfloat alsa_pcm_plugins_linear alsa_pcm_plugins_meter alsa_pcm_plugins_mulaw alsa_pcm_plugins_multi alsa_pcm_plugins_null alsa_pcm_plugins_plug alsa_pcm_plugins_rate alsa_pcm_plugins_route alsa_pcm_plugins_share alsa_pcm_plugins_shm alsa_pcm_plugins_softvol apache2 apm audiofile berkdb bitmap-fonts bonobo bzip2 cairo cdparanoia cdr cli cracklib crypt cups curl dga dlloader dri dts dvd dvdr dvdread eds elibc_glibc emboss encode esd ethereal fam fame ffmpeg firefox flac foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml iconv idn imagemagick imap imlib input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse irda irmc isdnlog ithreads java jpeg jpeg2k kernel_linux lcms ldap libg++ lirc lirc_devices_hauppauge logrotate lzo mad maildir mikmod mjpeg mmx mmxext mng motif mozilla mp3 mpeg mysql mythtv ncurses network nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin nvidia oav offensive ogg opengl oss pam pcre pdf perl png posix ppds pppd pthreads python qt3 qt4 quicktime readline reflection rhythmbox samba sdl session slang sndfile spell spl sse sse2 ssl svga tcpd tiff transcode truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev userland_GNU v4l v4l2 vcd video_cards_nvidia vorbis wifi win32codecs xine xml xorg xv xvid xvmc yv12 zlib" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
no, latest autoconf-wrapper should work fine with autoconf-2.59
Well, it didn't. Reemerging autoconf-wrapper-3.2-r2 after downgrading autoconf to 2.59-r7 didn't help either. What additional info do you require?
Is this what you need? Downgraded to autoconf-2.59-r7 # emerge =autoconf-2.59-r7 autoconf-wrapper -pv These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

autoconf-wrapper-4 already fixes this
