That looks like a too old sys-devel/libtool. Which version do you have?

[tps]

Hi few

Libtool is version 2.2.6a - please see below:


p600 ~ # emerge -av libtool

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] sys-devel/libtool-2.2.6a USE="-test -vanilla" 717 kB

Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 717 kB

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]

Thanks!

It's the other way a round. It doesn't work with newer libtool. Your best bet is to keyword a newer courier version. There are some bugs about courier-* packages and libtool, but not this one. You should file one.

Dear few

I am a little confused about how to flag that I want a newer courier verison?

I assume I have to change one of the /etc/portage files but I am not sure which and what the content should be.

Do you have a hint?

Thanks

echo "=mail-mta/courier-0.62.2 ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

See [1].

Dear few

courier-0.62.2 emerge fine.

From /var/log/emerge.log:

::: completed emerge (1 of 2) mail-mta/courier-0.62.2 to /

Thanks a lot

Glad to help. I filed a bug asking for stabilization of version 0.62.2 [1].
