Trying to emerge system died because wget required autoconf for the build. This was when using ~ia64. I'll have to investigate this issue for stable ia64.

Um, I'm getting the same error tonight after I emerge sync'ed my machine. Here is the output of the command. root@ranthog john # emerge world -upv These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies / emerge: there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy "sys-devl/autoconf". !!! Problem with ebuild net-misc/wget-1.8.2-r3 !!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem. !!! Depgraph creation failed. The last emerge sync was from rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage. However, I have just synced with several different mirros with the same result.
Oh, I forgot to mention this is on the stable branch of x86 and I also suspect I should copy and past this into the report: Portage 2.0.49-r15 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r1, 2.4.20-gentoo-r8) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-gentoo-r8 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1600+ Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.10 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -mmmx -m3dnow -msse -fomit-frame-pointer -mfpmath=sse -O2" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="sandbox ccache autoaddcvs" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="apm crypt foomaticdb libg++ mad mikmod motif ncurses nls truetype xml2 zlib gdbm berkdb slang readline arts tetex tcltk X sdl gpm tcpd pam libwww perl python esd imlib gtk2 cdr offensive aavm -3dfx 3dnow avi cups dga doc dvd encode ggi gif gnome gtk java jpeg -kde kerbos mmx mozilla mpeg oggvorbis opengl oss -pcmcia pdflib png -qt quicktime samba sasl spell sse ssl svga tiff true type usb -voodoo3 wmf x xmms xv x86"
Should be fixed in CVS now. sys-devl/autoconf -> sys-devel/autoconf
it was a spelling error, mr_bones_ fixed it
