Having dug a bit more, this is actually an upstream problem, I think. The version check in the XML::GDOME Makefile.PL is expecting a version number of the form '0.x.y', and 'gdome-config --version' currently spits out '0.19', which doesn't match the regexp. Should I report this upstream or do you guys patch around stuff like this?
we usually patch around it, just been too swamped to get to this yet (sorry)
emerge sync and enjoy (should hit all the mirrors within the next hour or so)
