Description Lee 2003-11-22 08:26:33 UTC

During a 'emerge system' from the x86-basic-1.4-20030911.iso it failed during
the wget portion.  It failed due to not finding the 'autoconf' program which
wget needed to compile.  Using 'emerge -p system' I discovered that autoconf was
not merged yet and was several more packages down the list.  I did a manual
'emerge autoconf' and that installed autoconf.  I then restarted the 'emerge
system' and it is still running as I type this...:)

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Perform a full install from the x86-basic-1.4-20030911.iso
2. Follow the install guide
3. It should bonk out on wget during the 'emerge system' portion

Actual Results:  
The installation failed and I had to re-arrange some things to get it to continue.

Expected Results:  
The 'emerge system' order of packages should have installed the autoconf before
trying to install the wget.

autoconf is only pulled in if nls is in USE, but it's actually required whether nls is there or not. It needs to be added to DEPEND.

I've fixed this on CVS. Thanks for the bug report.
