I recently updated my system and x11-misc/shared-mime-info is now broken. The ebuild compiles however it generates bad xml files in /usr/share/mime. background: I upgraded to gcc-4.1.1 , but I am not sure if that was what caused the problem. I have tried recompiling with gcc 3.4.6 to see if that helped however the problem remained. I have tried all of the available versions of x11-misc/shared-mime-info as well. Nothing helps. I even tried gettext in case that was the problem. specifically: The tags <comment> and <sub-class-of> are causing errors whenever update-mime-database runs. many applications are crashing now including evince , and audacious. Probably others as well that I haven't discovered yet. here is a snippet from emerging x11-misc/shared-mime-info: this is the error that Wrote magic at 6560 - bb3c Wrote namespace list at bb3c - bb4c element sub-class-of: error : Reference to default namespace not in scope element comment: error : Reference to default namespace not in scope element comment: error : Reference to default namespace not in scope here is an example of generated mime file: /usr/share/mime/audio/ac3.xml I had to cut and paste, however please feel free to e-mail me for more information. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mime-type xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info" type="audio/ac3"> <!--Created automatically by update-mime-database.

If it is a difficult report I apologize in advance.
Looks odd, might be indeed some problem with gcc abi compatability. Is this still a problem ? I guess the first thing to rebuild to test would be libxml2 . And ofcourse I should urge you to use the most basic cflags possible.
The CFLAGS I used were stupid, and I have recently expunged them from my system replacing them with "-march=athlon-xp -Os". Must have missed morning coffee when I cut and pasted those old flags in. I did a revdep-rebuild --library=libc.so.6 which was quite thorough. Still the same problem showing up. I will see if I can find the schemas for the mime info and run a recursive validate across /usr/share/mime. Maybe that will narrow the focus a bit.
this issue has gone away. I still get the messages , which I am quite sure are from libxml2; but evince and other applications are no longer affected visibly. This can now be closed unless someone else has seen it.
