21 Yup. I also saw a post saying he solved his issue by removing all the
22 versions except the latest one. Tried that too and portage keeps
23 rebuilding both versions:
24
25 # equery list autoconf
26 * Searching for autoconf ...
27 [IP-] [ ] sys-devel/autoconf-2.13:2.1
28 [IP-] [ ] sys-devel/autoconf-2.69:2.5

39 That's why I'm writing, sounds a bit weird to me ...

46 Tried that too but still get the same error:
47
48 Failed Running aclocal !
49
50 No matter what version I mask in:
51
52 vim /etc/portage/package.mask/masked
53
54 I get that same error. I have rebuilt automake and automake-wrapper
55 too just in case. Have also run:
56
57 revdep-rebuild
58
59 emerge --depclean
60
61 perl-cleaner --all
62
63 python-updater
64
65 I have also unmerged the previous versions of automake and left the
66 latest, but portage rebuilds 2 other versions so I end up with:
67
68 # equery list automake
69 * Searching for automake ...
70 [IP-] [ ] sys-devel/automake-1.10.3:1.10
71 [IP-] [ ] sys-devel/automake-1.11.6:1.11
72 [IP-] [ ] sys-devel/automake-1.13.1:1.13
73
74
75 TIA
