what does `qpkg -I -v auto` show ?

Damn, I forgot about checking the package:

ix root # qpkg -I -v auto
sys-devel/autoconf-2.57 *
sys-devel/automake-1.7.5-r2 *

I forgot about there being a new version of autoconf because it required
me to downgrade m4, which was needed for something else I can't remember.

I upgraded to autoconf-2.57-r2 and retried merging aalib-1.4_rc4-r2, it worked
fine.

Though there was no indication that autoconf-2.57-r2 was a dependency for
merging aalib, should that be included in aalib's ebuild?

nah it's a floating bug in autoconf ... which is to say older versions of
autoconf probably work, just not specifically that one, so why lock in the
version you know ? :)
