Bug 278292 – gnome-extra/gnome-user-docs-2.26.2 fails when emerging gnome-2.26.2

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Steve 2009-07-19 03:14:18 UTC]

On a fresh Gentoo stage3 install.
When using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" emerge gnome,
gnome-extra/gnome-user-docs-2.26.2 fails with an error about libxml2 module not being found. I had to add libxml2 before gnome, before I could continue(When I did a -p on libxml2, it claimed it was going to be updated and not a new package to the system).

USE in my make file contains:
"mmx sse sse2 nptl nptlonly memlimit acpi bluetooth bash-completion gnome dvd dvdr directfb hal truetype firefox gpm hddtemp jbig lm_sensors rdesktop vnc ogg vorbis samba spell wifi win32codecs xscreensaver X svg -kde"
I also had last minute additions to USE enabled via the command line:
"tiff jpeg jpeg2k raw png opengl cleartype alsa mpeg ffmpeg laptop dell networkmanager toolbar swat wmf xml dbus consolekit usb"


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. On a fresh stage3 amd64 install with no X(expected to be pulled in via gnome) do the following...
2. In make.conf, USE="mmx sse sse2 nptl nptlonly memlimit acpi bluetooth bash-completion gnome dvd dvdr directfb hal truetype firefox gpm hddtemp jbig lm_sensors rdesktop vnc ogg vorbis samba spell wifi win32codecs xscreensaver X svg -kde"
3. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" USE="tiff jpeg jpeg2k raw png opengl cleartype alsa mpeg ffmpeg laptop dell networkmanager toolbar swat wmf xml dbus consolekit usb" emerge gnome

Actual Results:  
gnome-extra/gnome-user-docs-2.26.2 fails shortly after configure complaining libxml2 is missing. emerge -p libxml2 claims it is installed and will be updated when using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" (which I did)

Expected Results:  
Pulled in libxml2 before gnome-extra/gnome-user-docs-2.26.2.

System is a Dell Latitude XT(Intel Core2 Duo).

I do not have those as I said I resolved the issue by emerging libxml2 before continuing with gnome-user-docs-2.26.2.

The error was like this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/xml2po", line 35, in <module>
    import libxml2
ImportError: No module named libxml2
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/xml2po", line 35, in <module>
    import libxml2
ImportError: No module named libxml2 

The ImportError is exactly the same. So if the libxml2 package was added to gnome-user-docs-2.26.2's emerge dependencies the error should disappear.
