When I was upgrading on one of the machines, I did encounter this same error on a couple gnome-related ebuilds (I don't actually have either gnome or kde desktops installed - only fluxbox). I ended up upgrading XML-Parser, then did a revdep-rebuild, which told me to re-install gettext, dbus, and dbus-glib. Once those steps were done, the packages that were giving me compile errors emerged smoothly. In the end, I had to also re-install audacious-plugins package. Most of the re-installs were due to expat lib as well.
However, on my other machine, the upgrade of the same packages was seamless, and the list of packages to upgrade were somewhat different, although the two machines are configured pretty much identically. The only difference I could see is that my work machine has a different default RSYNC mirror selected than the one at home. Could some of the packages have been out of sync on the different mirrors and cause this messy upgrade procedure to happen on some machines? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
