A recent emerge -upD world shows this (among other things):
[ebuild N ] sys-devel/automake-wrapper-1
[ebuild NS ] sys-devel/automake-1.9.3
[ebuild UD] sys-devel/automake-1.5 [1.8.5-r1]
[ebuild NS ] sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r2
[ebuild NS ] sys-devel/automake-1.6.3
[ebuild NS ] sys-devel/automake-1.7.9
[ebuild NS ] sys-devel/automake-1.4_p6
Why are there so many automakes? Will they all be installed (except for
the downgraded version of course)?
I had a quick look around archives / changelogs / man emerge, but i
couldn't find out exactly what will happen when I go ahead here.
TIA,

If you fool around with something long enough, it will eventually break.

yes they will be installed, and it's better you install manually again
automake 1.8.5 it's needed.
Also you will need to emerge again autoconf or autoconf-wrapper
Sorry but I can't explain what's happening, I don't know

You don't need to manually install anything. Although 1.8.5-r1 is
downgraded to 1.5, 1.8.5-r2 is installed into another slot.

but the first question is why do I need 6 versions of automake?

they are fundamental tools for compile a system, gentoo patches quite
everithing and so it must rebuild the configures and Makefiles script
that it's distribuited in the original packages.
To do do this emerge need to recompile other files that may be written
for a particular version of automake or autoconf (as far as I know they
are quite incompatible).

Will emerge automake take care of everything, or is something futher
needed? Also what does the S stand for?

You mean the S in
[ebuild NS ] sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r2
?
It stands for "Slot" (actually, SLOT). So [ NS ] stands for New SLOT.
Meaning that multiple versions of the same package can be installed
without conflicting with each other, because they are in different SLOTs.
In this case, it means that one compile can call for automake-1.8.5 and
use that specifically, another can just call for 'automake' and use the
latest version (1.9.something), if it wants, because both are on the
system and can coexist happily.
