I upgraded dev-libs/expat as part of a world upgrade today, and when revdep-rebuild was run after that, it rebuilt gdm as gdm was broken by expat upgrade. However, the emerge failed with the attached error log. My `emerge info` is as shown below.

Created attachment 83413 [details] gdm emerge failure messages the log of the emerge
Forgot to add... I re-emerged both expat and glib successfully. However, gdm still fails with the same error after that.
gdm-dmx-reconnect-proxy.c:23:18: glib.h: No such file or directory gdm-dmx-reconnect-proxy.c:24:24: glib/gi18n.h: No such file or directory This is the main issue. What version of glib do you have installed?
$ emerge -pv glib These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild R ] dev-libs/glib-2.8.6 USE="-debug -doc -hardened" 0 kB
See also bug 127470, bug 128085, and bug 128108.
Try revdep-rebuild
are you still having this problem?
Marking as WORKSFORME, because I can no longer reproduce this problem by emerging the latest ~x86 gdm, which does not require expat even with USE=expat set.
