The ebuild already checks for this. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 109369 *** Indeed - I've just checked it, so I see 2 scenarios which would explain: * Check was added, but ebuild version hasn't changed (not likely) * After installation of gnome-doc-utils I have removed python from my use flags and re-compiled all packages. Since gnome-doc-utils doesn't have python flag it hasn't been recompiled, but libxml2 was (very likely) Is there any reasonable way to workaround 2nd situation except adding 'dev-libs/libxml2 python' to /etc/portage/package.use file ? |
Hi, Recently I tried to emerge gcalctool-5.8.25 on ~amd64 and it fails with the following error: <snip> Making all in de Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/xml2po", line 34, in ? import libxml2 ImportError: No module named libxml2 make[2]: *** [es/gcalctool.xml] Error 1 make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... <snip> /usr/bin/xml2po belongs to gnome-doc-utils-0.8.0 and is written in python. Apparently it requires libxml2 module. Unfortunately my libxml2 is built without python support (USE=-python). Re-compiling it with python support solves the problem.. Looks like libxml2 python module is needed only during installation.
