The buildsystem of collectd-5.5.0 requires aclocal-1.13 for a bundled library and thus fails at build time when no automake 1.13 version is installed.

bah, the lib is supposed to be unbundled. setting the automake dep would "fix" it, but better I just remove the lib properly.
Can you re-sync in a few minutes and re-test? Should be properly unbundled now. It removed the lib before but there was a remaining reference in configure.ac so it tried to re-generate it. commit 255bbef4ec73371480d70ddcf331e1a1c9db1574 Author: Jason Zaman <perfinion@gentoo.org> Date: Mon Jan 4 14:03:02 2016 app-admin/collectd: update patch to unbundle libltdl Package-Manager: portage-2.2.26
