Description Thomas Frenzel 2006-05-01 10:25:20 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hardmasked gnome-2.14 had been unmasked...

syslock@viriya ~ $ sudo emerge '>=gnome-2.14'
...
/usr/share/aclocal/glib.m4:8: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_GLIB
  run info '(automake)Extending aclocal'
  or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal
/usr/share/aclocal/ao.m4:9: warning: underquoted definition of XIPH_PATH_AO
configure.in:58: version mismatch.  This is Automake 1.9.4,
configure.in:58: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
configure.in:58: comes from Automake 1.9.6.  You should recreate
configure.in:58: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again.

!!! ERROR: gnome-base/libgnomeui-2.14.0 failed.
...

Additional system information:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
syslock@viriya ~ $ cat /usr/portage/gnome-base/libgnomeui/libgnomeui-2.14.0.ebuild |grep automake
        automake || die "automake failed"

syslock@viriya ~ $ equery l automake

Workaround:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
syslock@viriya ~ $ emerge ">=automake-1.9.6"

gnome-base/libgnomeui-2.14.0 compiles cleanly afterwards.

Proposed fix:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Add ">=automake-1.9.6" to libgnomeui-2.14.0's dependencies.
Comment 1 Saleem Abdulrasool (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-05-05 09:31:04 UTC 
What version of glib do you have installed?  Also, are you able to reproduce this with libgnomeui-2.14.1?
Comment 2 Thomas Frenzel 2006-05-09 05:01:39 UTC 
The affected system has the following glib-packages installed:

[I--] [  ] dev-libs/glib-1.2.10-r5 (1)
[I--] [ ~] dev-libs/glib-2.10.1-r1 (2)

The timestamps suggest, that these packages where installed before the installation of any gnome-2.14-package.

I fear that I'm unable to try to reproduce that under comparable condintions with gnome-base/libgnomeui-2.14.1, as I have no backup of the original sys-devel/automake-1.9.4, which is also not in portage anymore.
Comment 3 Leonardo Boshell (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-05-09 20:13:45 UTC 
libgnomeui-2.14.0 doesn't really need >=automake-1.9.

Anyway, this should be fixed in libgnomeui-2.14.1.ebuild.
