Comment 1 Mathias Zimmermann 2004-10-10 06:27:46 UTC 
The link /usr/share/locale/lv points to the directory /usr/share/locale/LV_lv and this directory doesn't exist. I have create it and then glib emerges without any errors.
Comment 2 Mathias Zimmermann 2004-10-10 06:36:34 UTC 
I hope it's a fix and no hack but as a precaution i reopen it!
Comment 3 Mike Gardiner (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-10-11 00:28:30 UTC 
my /usr/share/locale/lv is a directory, not a symlink to any other directory lv_LV.
Comment 4 Mathias Zimmermann 2004-10-11 11:17:01 UTC 
Hmm strange I'm sure don't have manually change anything in this directory?!
Comment 5 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-30 04:48:22 UTC 
not sure what was going on here, but we can't reproduce and if you can't either there is not much to go on.
