If you get an automake error in dbus 1.10 (I'm guessing this will probably work for any 1.10* ver).

nano -w /tmp/portage/sys-apps/dbus/dbus-1.10.12.ebuild

Add the following line near the top in the variables

WANT_AUTOMAKE="1.13"

ebuild /tmp/portage/sys-apps/dbus/dbus-1.10.12.ebuild digest

Rerun your emerge and you should be good. Unfortunately you will have to do this any time you update portage as it will mess up the ebuild again.

Hope this helps,

Chad

cciechad,

You can do that on a per package basis.

WANT_AUTOMAKE is, or becomes, an environment variable, which portage allows you to set an a per package basis.

/etc/portage/env/ contains files that define an environment variable you would like to set on a per package basis.
These are definitions, they don't do anything yet.
I have a file MAKEOPTS-j2 that contains
Code:
# use this for things that fail at higher parallel makes that -j2
MAKEOPTS="-j2"
A raspberry pi is RAM constrained and MAKOPTS=" -j5", from make.conf causes some builds to fail.

The file /etc/portage/package.env is used to apply the definitions in /etc/portage/env/ to package atoms.
I have
Code:
# list things that need -j2 here
app-office/libreoffice  MAKEOPTS-j2
dev-libs/boost MAKEOPTS-j2
games-emulation/sdlmame MAKEOPTS-j2
#www-client/firefox MAKEOPTS-j2
www-client/chromium MAKEOPTS-j2

# list things that need MAKEOPTS-j1
www-client/firefox MAKEOPTS-j1

So portage remembers it all.

That's the workaround. Please file a bug at bugs.gentoo.org if there isn't one already.

NeddySeagoon,

Thank you that seems much easier than my solution. I just got my bugzilla acct straightened out bug 599996 entered. It's sitting with bugwranglers as it appears I lost my assignment rights(wouldn't let me reassign to freedesktop-bugs@gentoo.org)

Thanks,

Chad

cciechad,

You may want to investigate the use of version and comparison operators in /etc/portage/package.env
That will make forgetting to remove the WANT_AUTOMAKE="1.13" harmless, when you really don't want it and a future build fails.
