Description Rabbe Fogelholm 2008-04-11 09:36:26 UTC
An attempt to bootstrap prefix portage on x86-linux failed. The failure occurs when emerging automake-1.10.1 for the last time, after having done `emerge --sync'.

The failure printout complains on autoconf. It seems that a previous version of autoconf (2.61-r01.1) was usable, and that the current version (2.62) causes the failure.

Here is text from the console log:

>>> Emerging (24 of 87) sys-devel/automake-1.10.1 to /
[ ... text deleted ... ]
checking whether autoconf is installed... yes
checking whether autoconf works... no
configure: error: The installed version of autoconf does not work.
    Please check config.log for error messages before this one.

!!! Please attach the following file when seeking support:

Thanks.  I'll mask it.

I could forsee this coming.  I want stable keywords for @system just to make bootstrapping less risky ...
