If automake is emerged before autoconf, build of automake may fail. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. insure installed autoconf is an older version < autoconf-2.59-r6 2. emerge automake-1.9.3 Build will fail with a message stsating that autoconf does not work. 3. emerge autoconf-2.59-r6 and then automake-1.9.3 This time automake will build Actual Results: Everyting built correctly Expected Results: A dependancy should be placed on automake such that autoconf will be emerged to the necessary version Note: this is after the successful build.

It looks like the ebuild has a new problem. root@jb1 # emerge -uDp automake These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!
