Bug 172135 – sys-apps/coreutils-6.9 won't compile w/ <autoconf-2.61

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Jesco Freund 2007-03-25 07:06:07 UTC]

The coreutils-6.9 ebuild doesn't work on my gentoo hardened setup.

Looking at the aclocal-output, it is obvious, that autoconf-2.61 is required but the hardened profile seems to be limited to 2.60:

cat /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/coreutils-6.9/temp/aclocal-5899.out
***** aclocal *****

configure.ac:22: error: Autoconf version 2.61 or higher is required
configure.ac:22: the top level
autom4te-2.60: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 63
aclocal-1.10: autom4te failed with exit status: 63


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge --sync
2. emerge -Nu coreutils

Actual Results:

Ooops, just forgot to mention what happens if I actually try to emerge autoconf-2.61:

emerge -pv =sys-devel/autoconf-2.61

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies |
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=sys-devel/autoconf-2.61" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-devel/autoconf-2.61 (masked by: package.mask)
# Christian Heim <[e-mail]> (28 January 2007)
# Mask sys-devel/autoconf-2.61 due to bug #161566


For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

you're on a hardened system which means you're screwed for now

ive updated the DEPEND in coreutils-6.9 accordingly
