x11-misc/xdg-utils depends on links/lynx/w3m in order to build manpages using xmlto. However, elinks works just as well (I can compile xdg-utils fine if prior to compilation, I create a symlink to elinks: ln -s /usr/bin/elinks /usr/bin/links). I'll submit a patch to the dude who writes xmlto tomorrow, but maybe it's worth changing the ebuild to do something like the quick&dirty stuff I did above + add elinks to the "||" in the dependency?

Quick and dirty is not exactly how we should run this distro, right?
Created attachment 394402 [details, diff] patch for xmlto to use elinks if it exists here's the patch if anyone with the same problem stumbles upon this.
Created attachment 394404 [details] xdg-utils ebuild respecting the possibility for xmlto to use elinks Note that, the whole reason for this bugreport is that x11-misc/xdg-utils depends on links/lynx/w3m because of the limitation of the unpatched app-text/xmlto. Thus, this modified ebuild for xdg-utils is warranted.
