kde-base/kde-3.2.2 Like you can see, Automake want't to be installed before any other package, BUT it nees Autoconf >= 2.58, but autoconf is going to be emerged some packages after.

Function src_compile, Line 108, Exitcode 1 !!! configure 1.8x failed While using "emerge -Dn" (without the upgrade option) works well but of course it doesn't update the packages. Bye! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -DUp kde (because it has a lot of deps) 2. look at the wrong emerge order 3. emerge -DUn kde Actual Results: The packages are emerge in the wrong deps order => in my case Automake reports an error because it needs Autoconf >= 2.58, but autoconf is going to be emerged some packages after. Expected Results: I was expecting the right emerge order.
