I have this same issue on 2 stable x86 boxes and 1 stable amd64 box.

[Comment 3 Naveen Goswamy 2011-10-27 19:29:07 UTC]

I believe this was related to the USE doc flag I had set... 
I just successfully emerged it with -doc

The package should emerge correctly with the doc flag too.  But it doesn't.

Given that this is a library presenting a database access API, any application programmer attempting to use that API needs the documentation.

[Comment 7 jannis 2011-11-09 10:44:42 UTC]

As explained by gnome-devs at the linked gnome bug (see URL), this is fixed in libgda-4.2.11
A bump to this new version should fix this bug here.

The patch to fix this bug

Hi, I've worked out a patch for this bug. You can download the patch from the attachment. By using epatch at the end of the src_prepare function in the ebuild, libgda can be compiled with doc flag on. This patch also works with 2.9.10
