I've building 2 systems during the last 3 days. The both had the same problem. When running 'emerge system' for the first time it fails on autoconf-2.57-r1. It claims that m4 doesn't work and that's right because m4 isn't installed. On both systems I've updated the portage tree with emerge sync, but I don't think that was necessary (just a feeling). After that emerge system works fine and with emerge -p system I can see autoconf moved down the list a little and m4 will be installed before it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start from stage 1 2.emerge system in stage 2 3. Actual Results: THe build of autoconf-2.57-r1 failed Expected Results: Build the system Portage 2.0.47-r10 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.2, glibc-2.3.1-r4) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-gentoo-r2 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) Processor GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/ http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/share/config /usr/kde/2/share/confi g /usr/kde/3/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" USE="x86 oss 3dnow apm arts avi crypt cups encode gif gpm gtk imlib java jpeg kde libg++ libwww mikmod mmx motif mpeg ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl pdflib png qt quicktime sdl spell svga truetype X xml2 xmms xv zlib gdbm berkdb slang readline tcpd pam ssl perl python -gnome ldap pic" COMPILER="gcc3" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-mcpu=athlon-tbird -O3 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-mcpu=athlon-tbird -O3 -pipe" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" MAKEOPTS="-j2" AUTOCLEAN="yes" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" FEATURES="sandbox ccache distcc"
Ok, it was the DEPEND on util-linux that was added to man. Is fixed for man-1.5l-r3.
