too bad it seems to make xmllint segfault, so i've added w/out KEYWORDS

Need at least libxml2-2.7.7 it seems.

"Suggested update to fix the problem with zlib-1.2.4 and following
It is available as usual at: ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/"

[Comment 3 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2010-03-18 14:23:11 UTC]

mike, can you try 2.7.7 (now in portage) and add the keywords? thanks! :)

[Comment 4 SpanKY 2010-03-19 02:24:00 UTC]

thanks, it works for me.  ive blocked older versions of libxml2 because of this.

http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-libs/zlib/zlib-1.2.4.ebuild?r1=1.1&r2=1.2

[Comment 5 Daniel Robbins 2010-03-19 16:53:26 UTC]

You should add a PDEPEND on the new libxml2 in the new zlib so that Portage can auto-resolve this blocker.

[Comment 6 SpanKY 2010-03-19 17:33:46 UTC]

zlib should not be PDEPEND-ing on libxml2

[Comment 7 SpanKY 2010-03-20 17:38:53 UTC]

also, the current block looks sufficient to me:

# emerge world -Dup
...
[ebuild     U ] sys-libs/zlib-1.2.4 [1.2.3-r1]
...
[ebuild     U ] dev-libs/libxml2-2.7.7 [2.7.6]
[blocks b     ] <dev-libs/libxml2-2.7.7 ("<dev-libs/libxml2-2.7.7" is blocking sys-libs/zlib-1.2.4)
...

(In reply to comment #6)
> zlib should not be PDEPEND-ing on libxml2

ACK. As libxml2 is causing the problem, the blocker
should come from there.
