emerging pulseaudio fails with Failed Running aclocal ! but aclocal works fine in my system!

Ok, obviously this is a missing dependency. With * sys-devel/automake Latest version available: 1.11.1 Latest version installed: 1.11.1 pulseaudio does just fine and compiles. * media-sound/pulseaudio Latest version available: 0.9.15-r2 Latest version installed: 0.9.15-r2
^[[31;01m*^[[0m Include in your bugreport the contents of: ^[[31;01m*^[[0m ^[[31;01m*^[[0m /var/tmp/portage/media-sound/pulseaudio-0.9.15-r2/temp/aclocal.out without that we can't figure out what's wrong exactly.
I do not have such a directory: ~> vi /var/tmp/portage/media- media-gfx/ media-video/ But I could solve the problem with upgrading automake, see above.
