If you look at package.mask, it does say 1.4 to 1.8 have the |
| 15 |
vulnerability, but it did mask 1.4 through 1.10. I don't know if it |
| 16 |
was a typo (excluding 1.9 and 1.10 from having problems, or including |
| 17 |
them in the mask.) Might a bug be warranted? |

Have you tried updating or reinstalling either of those? Have you |
| 26 |
tried depcleaning automake to see if it agrees with these |
| 27 |
dependencies? (I'm grabbing at straws, and won't predict any |
| 28 |
particular result.) That version of ssmtp does not (from the ebuild) |
| 29 |
require any particular version of automake, so might that just be |
| 30 |
because that was the version used to build it? I don't see openrdate |
| 31 |
in the main tree, so that could be why he missed it. |

I obviously have a very different world file from you, but I've got |
| 39 |
1.11.6-r3, 1.13.4-r2, and 1.16.1-r1 installed. "emerge -pc automake" |
| 40 |
says two packages need the 1.11, one needs 1.13, and a whole bunch need |
| 41 |
1.16. |
