While trying to upgrade to gnome 2.12.0, I found this small problem. If libxml2 is compiled with USE=-python, file-roller doesn't emerge correctly, because xml2po requires python libxml2 bindings. I made it work by a simple reemerge of libxml2 with USE=python. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.USE=-python emerge libxml2 2.emerge new file-roller 3. Actual Results: emerge error Expected Results: Perhaps an einfo telling me to reemerge libxml2 with USE=python or something similar.

Could you explain "doesn't emerge corrcetly"? It certainly doesn't fail to emerge here, and I can't find anything wrong with the resulting install.
Reopen with some error messages, please.
I had the same problem but on x86. file-roller wont even emerge (It crashs with an error message about missing the libxml2 python module) when you compile libxml2 with the USE=python. You have to manually run python-updater. After that file-roller works fine.
(In reply to comment #3) > You have to manually run python-updater. After that > file-roller works fine. That's required after python upgrade. Closing.
