Today I tried to compile app-misc/beagle on a system with no intltool installed (don't ask me why :-° ) and the ebuild failed at an early stage with the following error: * Running autoconf ... [ !! ] * Failed Running autoconf ! * * Include in your bugreport the contents of: * * /var/tmp/portage/app-misc/beagle-0.2.16.2/temp/autoconf-8802.out !!! ERROR: app-misc/beagle-0.2.16.2 failed.

correct but i think there's some dependency of beagle that pulls intltool if i'm not wrong.
Created attachment 127142 [details] Dependency graph for app-misc/beagle on my system It seems you're right... Looking at the output of # equery g beagle (which I have attaached) intltool is supposed to be brought in by x11-misc/shared-mime-info, which is brought in by x11-libs/gtk+, sys-devel/gcc, sys-libs/glibc, dev-libs/glib, dev-lang/mono in turn. I wonder why I didn't have it. 8-/ I guess you may close the bug as INVALID
maybe something messed up on your system. Closing the bug. Thanks
