Description Markus Walter 2012-11-14 12:17:25 UTC

On my fresh amd64 box I see the following failure when merging sgml-common-0.6.3-r5.  I have automake 1.11.6.

***** automake *****
***** PWD: /var/tmp/portage/app-text/sgml-common-0.6.3-r5/work/sgml-common-0.6.3
***** automake --add-missing --copy --foreign

configure.in:4: your implementation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE comes from an
configure.in:4: old Automake version.  You should recreate aclocal.m4
configure.in:4: with aclocal and run automake again.
configure.in:4: installing `./install-sh'

Comment 3 Markus Walter 2012-11-14 12:20:07 UTC

Somehow firefox doesn't want to upload the build log -- which however doesn't contain anything specifically interesting. If it's necessary after all please ask, I'll then try to convince firefox after all.

Firefox is strange ...

Looks like bug 417355. Maybe that didn't fix the issue afterall.

Comment 6 Johan Ymerson 2012-11-16 17:22:30 UTC

I hit this today, trying to do an emerge -e world.
The issue in https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=417355 is definetly still there. I have hit this on multiple machines, and get the feeling it is more common the more CPU's (-jX in MAKEOPTS) or parallell jobs (--jobs=X in EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS) i have.
Can this be a parallell build issue?

Comment 7 Johan Ymerson 2012-11-16 17:24:32 UTC

Some additional info, I had to do emerge --resume about 10 times before all packages were rebuilt. Different packages broke with automake errors every time, so it's not just sgml-common.

Comment 8 Markus Walter 2012-11-16 18:34:53 UTC

I can confirm that this is a non-deterministic issue, I saw this issue today with sci-mathematics/maxima, but it only occured every other merge (i.e. in 50% of the tries).

Comment 9 Kobboi 2012-12-13 18:32:39 UTC

I also confirm the seemingly randomness. In a chroot from stage3-amd64-20121107.tar.bz2 and portage-20121209.tar.bz2 (profile set to amd64/10.0/gnome) I sometimes do and sometimes do not get the issue.

Comment 10 Kobboi 2012-12-13 18:34:21 UTC

Forgot to add that I emerge nothing else within that chroot.

Comment 11 Kobboi 2012-12-13 18:44:32 UTC

And that I am not using parallel building at all. I do have 4 cores x 2 (hyperthreading) running.

Since we can't seem to figure this out, I did the next best thing.
