net-snmp-5.2 won't compile without autoconf-2.59 or better, but it is not specified in the ebuild as a dependency. I think this should be as simple as adding this to the ebuild's DEPEND variable: >=sys-devel/autoconf-2.59 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Actual Results: >>> md5 src_uri ;-) net-snmp-5.2.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking net-snmp-5.2.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/net-snmp-5.2/work configure.in:14: error: Autoconf version 2.59 or higher is required configure.in:14: the top level autom4te-2.57: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 !!! ERROR: net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.2 failed. !!! Function src_unpack, Line 56, Exitcode 1 !!! autoconf failed !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.
hmm did you run emerge -puDv system in the last time ? autoconf-wrapper and automake-wrapper are now in system profile with different versions of both packages i vote for invalid
Yeah definitely invalid... 2.57 isn't even in tree anymore and 2.59 has been stable on all archs for quite a while. As Martin pointed out, now that autoconf-wrapper is stable on all archs, all versions of autoconf are now slotted and listed in the profile. Please update your system.
Yes, I know my system is a bit out-of-date, but I figured that net-snmp should have grabbed its dependencies (such as a newer autoconf) instead of just failing. What is autoconf-wrapper and automake-wrapper and how do they help with the missing dependency?
