libwnck-2.24.1.tar.bz2 files have timestamps in the "future". It is currently: Wed Oct 22 16:39:43 CST 2008 (-9:30) and files have times like -rw-r--r-- 1 portage portage 33022 2008-10-22 19:08 NEWS This causes configure to die.

So, in other words, this bug has now fixed itself?
That package must have been created very recently on a machine with different timezone than yours. This is quite a rare coincidence, so I don't think you need to worry about it happening again.
(In reply to comment #1) > So, in other words, this bug has now fixed itself? no, rather the specific conditions that caused it have changed, so it's not manifesting itself with the same package.

Given that the largest timestamp was quite a few hours into the future, the problem was there for a while. Sure, it's not a bug against libwnck, but I thought it would be something to make Gentoo more stable in general. Sorry if I sound annoying... just MHO.
