Description Tommaso Pasini 2010-03-29 13:44:49 UTC 
aclocal.out shows:

***** aclocal *****
***** PWD: /var/tmp/portage/gnome-extra/gnome-power-manager-2.29.91/work/gnome-power-manager-2.29.91
***** aclocal -I m4

configure.ac:365: warning: underquoted definition of AC_CHECK_X_HEADER
configure.ac:365:   run info '(automake)Extending aclocal'
configure.ac:365:   or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal
configure.ac:1: error: Autoconf version 2.65 or higher is required
configure.ac:1: the top level
autom4te-2.63: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 63
aclocal-1.10: autom4te failed with exit status: 63

Upgrading autoconf to 2.65 and autoconf-wrapper to 8 solves the issue.

Reproducible: Always

those are current ~arch release. What did you expect from the overlay, really ?

@base-system, could you advise on if we should use WANT_AUTOCONF (currently that wouldn't allow selection of 2.65 though) for this or adding the build-dep manually ?

to add autoconf-2.65 and autoconf-wrapper-8 to dep, please.
Comment 3 Tommaso Pasini 2010-03-29 17:07:36 UTC 
The autoconf-2.65 dependency was added in

    trivial: Modernize the configure.ac file

Comment 4 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2010-03-29 17:50:42 UTC 
we could probably extend WANT_AUTOCONF handling in autotools.eclass so that it forced a newer DEPEND for packages that need it
Comment 5 Kobboi 2010-04-01 22:10:18 UTC 
Still valid for g-p-m-2.30 from the overlay

Comment 7 Alex Buell 2010-05-12 21:18:23 UTC 
I've just hit the same problem with gnome-power-manager 2.30.1, evidently the overlay ebuild didn't check for dependency on autoconf > 2.65. It would be nice to have that sorted.
Comment 8 Michael Weber (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-06-05 21:45:50 UTC 
sys-devel/autoconf-2.65 is stable on most arches ( bug 311967 ), so i'm closing this as resolved. Please reopen or pm me if you think that this issue isn't resolved.
