1 On May 20, autools.eclass was changed to no longer inherit eutils, see
2 http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/eclass/autotools.eclass?r1=1.133&r2=1.134

4 Relying on autotools.eclass for your eutils needs was always a terrible
5 idea, but a few ebuilds did it anyway. Those ebuilds are now *broken*
6 since they can no longer use epatch. See bug #416847 for an example.

8 Check your ebuilds to make sure you inherit eutils in anything that uses
9 epatch!
