[ebuild N ] gnome-base/gconf-2.28.0-r1 USE="ldap -debug -doc -policykit" 0 kB I believe this is the error: checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool I ran perl-cleaner, so all my modules are up to date. I'd be happy to provide more info, but this just looks like another Perl dependency problem, and I believe I've followed the instructions I was given the last time I reported a perl dependency problem. Reproducible: Always
Please upload your build.log and give the command you used to install gconf. From my short examination, gconf-2.28.0-r1 depends on intltool and intltool has an RDEPEND on XML-Parser properly. Thus, if portage is letting you install gconf, you should already have XML-Parser. Do you have XML-Parser installed already?
Today, I noticed this when I did a full update: [ebuild U ] dev-perl/XML-Parser-2.36-r1 [2.36] 0 kB That wasn't there yesterday after my 3AM rsync. Did yesterday's rsync get a corrupted or incomplete portage, perhaps? I think I've had this happen a few times before, and I had to rsync before things would build right. Anything we can do to keep that from happening? Anyhow, gconf now emerges properly.
xml-parser has some interesting issues :) Usually re-emerging it fixes these failures, and the recent fixes in the ebuild reduce some of these problems. Not a gconf error.
