I had "sys-devel/automake-1.7.2" on my system and i tried to update it with
"emerge -u automake", the output of this command ended with:

I tried it a couple of times and it never worked, i ignored it and continued doing "other things" on the system (i did not change config files nor emerged other software), tried it again and now it works...

me for the time being - if more info if it happen again, reopen please.
