New AMD64 build, while trying to emerge samba, sys-libs/tdb-1.2.1 is pulled in and fails during compile. I have tried to rebuild the files in /etc/xml and also to merge docbook-xml-dtd prior, and neither has an effect.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge samba (or emerge sys-libs/tdb-1.2.1)
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Compile fails

Expected Results:  
Successful merge

Update - I added tdb-1.2.7-r1 to my keywords file and it did compile successfully - appears to be a valid workaround.

Duplicate of #316959, but yes, indeed, sys-libs/tdb-1.2.7-r1 should be stabilizied to solve this problem for stable users.

As the summary says, sys-libs/tdb-1.2.1* does not work with python 3.
I've added a check which forces building this version with python 2.x

I'll look forward to stabilize tdb-1.2.7-r1
