Description Tim Weber 2009-07-01 10:17:52 UTC 
When trying to emerge net-misc/openrdate-1.2, the following happens:

 * Applying openrdate-1.1.3-rename.patch ... [ ok ]
am-wrapper: warning: invalid WANT_AUTOMAKE 'latest'; ignoring.
 * Running automake --add-missing --copy ... [ !! ]

 * Failed Running automake !
[…]

The problem seems to be that the ebuild needs to be updated because of recent changes in the am-wrapper or eautomake or whatever (I don’t quite get it), see for example #271059 for a discussion.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge openrdate
Actual Results:  
The error message above appeared.

Expected Results:  
Build and install openrdate.

Happens with 1.1.3 as well.

Workaround:
1. Add WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.9 to the ebuild.
2. ebuild /usr/portage/net-misc/openrdate/openrdate-1.2.ebuild digest
3. emerge openrdate
