@portage: any suggestions on this? The minimal circular path I can spot is: sys-devel/automake -> dev-lang/perl -> USE=berkdb sys-libs/db -> automake I think is due to the WANT_AUTOMAKE default behavior. The latest stable automake is already brought in, but WANT_AUTOMAKE is still set to 1.10 because that's the last version that was stable on ALL arches. (1.11 is only x86/hppa). Should we extend the WANT_AUTOMAKE=latest behaviour to reflect the architectures maybe? One solution that would break the metadata cache would be to do a visibility query and use the result of that as the major version used. fixed in rev 1.95 of autotools.eclass. |
