Have fun.
Comment 1 Federico Ferri (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-12-01 18:50:29 UTC 
is this an upstream issue?
Comment 2 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-12-01 18:51:34 UTC 
You cannot ignore it in Gentoo if that's what you hoped, this is a breach of policy and a security risk.
Comment 3 Federico Ferri (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-12-04 20:18:09 UTC 
fixed in tdom-0.8.2.ebuild.
needs test and stabilization.

shall tdom-0.8.0-r* be masked?
Comment 4 Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-12-06 15:10:49 UTC 
It is merely a potential security risk, as this version of expat is not prone to any known vulnerabilities.
It is sufficient to remove the old version, and keep the new one -- no need to stabilize or handle any further.
