Certain ebuilds fail with the above error after quite some warnings from aclocal. I emerge --sync'ed, then emerge -Duv world. No problem in the beginning, the first 30 or so ebuilds worked fine, then came gnome-spell, which didn't even start compiling but failed with the above error. I then masked it in package.mask, after that the next ebuilds in world worked (libpcap, genkernel ...), then libdvdcss-1.2.9 fails Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -Duv world 2. some ebuilds compile 3. gnome-spell and libdvdcss-1.2.9 fail Actual Results: blue ~ # emerge -Duv world Calculating world dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 29) app-text/gnome-spell-1.0.6 to / >>> md5 files ;-) gnome-spell-0.5.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) gnome-spell-1.0.5-r2.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) gnome-spell-1.0.6.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-gnome-spell-0.5 >>> md5 files ;-) files/gnome-spell-1.0.5-enchant.patch >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-gnome-spell-1.0.5-r2 >>> md5 files ;-) files/gnome-spell-1.0.5-gtk24.patch >>> md5 files ;-) files/gnome-spell-1.0.6-combo.patch >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-gnome-spell-1.0.6 >>> md5 files ;-) files/gnome-spell-1.0.6-enchant.patch >>> md5 src_uri ;-) gnome-spell-1.0.6.tar.bz2 >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking gnome-spell-1.0.6.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/gnome-spell-1.0.6/work * Applying gnome-spell-1.0.6-enchant.patch ...
