When updating gnome to version 2.0.2-r1 the package libxml2-2.4.24 seems not to be "installable". Building libxml2 will stop at (cd /var/tmp/portage/libxml2-2.4.24/image/; gtkdoc-fixxref --module=libxml --html-dir=/usr/doc) gtkdoc-fixxref is running using the whole cpu time doesn't stop (even after running several hours on an amd 1800+). is this an error or normal operations?
This is most likely a gtk-doc problem, if it is reproducable.
when updating to libxml2-2.4.26 this bugs seems to be there again... when removing the link /usr/doc -> /usr/share/doc, libxml2 could be installed
Doesn't make a whole lot of sense, do you have a link somewhere in /usr/share/doc pointing to /usr/doc ?
oh, yes - there was a cylic link /usr/doc/HOWTO -> /usr/share/doc/howto /usr/doc/howto -> /usr/share/doc/howto but with /usr/doc -> /usr/share/doc the above links will be cylic links.. thanks ..
just a hint for others with maybe the same problem the cyclic links are created with the howto-(text,pdf..) and mini-howto-(text,pdf..) packages. each package will create a link /usr/share/doc/HOWTO -> /usr/share/doc/howto in this case, i think, old portage versions created wrong links (duplicated links)...
