oggtst will not ever install if a version of automake in the 1.4 branch isn't installed. Since that branch is no longer depended upon by anything in the system profile the package cannot be installed by default. Furthermore, if one were to install the needed version of automake it could still be removed by doing depclean or something similar to remove unneeded packages. 1) Verify that automake-1.4.* is not installed by doing emerge -pv =sys-devel/automake-1.4* 2) Verify that it is not currently depended by anything by doing emerge world -NDpv | grep automake 3) emerge oggtst Fails with >>> Emerging (1 of 1) media-sound/oggtst-0.0 to / * oggtst.tgz MD5 ;-) ...

Created attachment 102220 [details] emerge --info
The following change to the ebuild fixes the issue for me. diff oggtst-0.0.ebuild oggtst-0.0.ebuild.orig 15,16c15 < >=media-libs/libvorbis-1.0_rc2 < =sys-devel/automake-1.4*" --- > >=media-libs/libvorbis-1.0_rc2"
Fixed, thanks.
