[Description Robert Miesen 2007-09-18 06:55:50 UTC]

I attempted to update the world set of my computer and got an error from emerge stating that it found a corrupt or invalid dependancy specification: '>=sys-devel/autoconf-FAIL'

Same problem here, with both 22.1 and 22.1-r1 ebuild.

BUT: I have emacs-22.1-r1 installed (on Thu Sep  6 16:10:19 2007), which means that something has changed outside the emacs ebuild which spoiled it.
Among the things I have updated from then on: libtool, python, portage (which is my suspected no. 1).

NOTE: my 21.4 ebuilds of emacs still work.

This seems to be dup of bug #192923

It looks like Jakub took a day off; I had never seen 56 bugs assigned to
Wrangler.  It may help if bug creator marked this bug dup himself; would save
Jakub's time when he is back.

Also see bugs #192927 #192951 #192947 #192942 #192903 #192894

[Comment 3 Ulrich Müller 2007-09-18 22:51:25 UTC]

Already fixed for app-editors/emacs-22* and app-editors/emacs-cvs.
