Please attach the full emerge log as plain text so we can take a better look.

Full emerge log

Log created with emerge >emerge.log 2>&1
I've stripped the escape sequences

It looks like you're missing Docbook-3.0's DTD, please follow the directions
given on bug #49838 to emerge the DTD, try emerging libgnomeprint again and let
us know the results. Thanks.

Ok, emerging docbook-3 fixes the problem. The question is, why isn't it a
dependency?

Ok, the issue is resolved now. As for why it wasn't a dependency before, what
happens is that this particular kind of deps are hard to track, and usually the
best way to make sure adding a certain dependency fixes the problem is through
feedback from users like you.

Thanks for the report.
