Description Petr Zima 2016-01-09 19:02:33 UTC

Installing fails with during configure with the message from title.  The problem is obviously caused by commit:

https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit?id=513638242806025416eaa41a9b088a40595f161a

The file configure.in cannot be renamed just so, because there are hardcoded references to it (from itself and Makefile.in's).

Removing the line "mv configure.{in,ac} || die" from ebuild fixes the problem.

Reproducible: Always
