I'm trying to migrate to modular X. While running 'emerge xkeyboard-config' configure ran into an error. There is the module XML::Parser missing. Configure says that this is required for intltool. So I would suggest that the package xkeyboard-config has a dependency to this perl module. If this module is missing at the host system it should be installed via emerge. /***********************/ /* out of config.log */ /***********************/ It was created by xkeyboard-config configure 0.7, which was generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59.

It directly depends on it. Running perl-cleaner after perl upgrade is NOT optional. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 127591 ***
