I was installing mplayer2 and pulled in libcaca for the fun of it, and found out that Bug #451744 ( automake-1.13 ) affected this here too :) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -1 media-libs/libcaca 2. watch aclocal fail Actual Results: aclocal fails to run. Expected Results: aclocal should run, and the library should compile. This is a known issue, I'm just adding to the tracker :) naganohara ~ # emerge --info Portage 2.1.11.62 (default/linux/amd64/13.0, gcc-4.7.2, glibc-2.17, 3.8.8-gentoo x86_64)

Fixed in 0.99_beta18-r1 in CVS (and that upstream automake change was reverted for the rest of the 1.13* series anyway).
