Created attachment 110166 [details] build.log of gnome-themes-2.16.2
gnome-themes depends on icon-naming-utils, which depends on XML-Simple. You obviously have icon-naming-utils, since icon-name-mapping is what's failing. How did you get icon-naming-utils installed without XML-Simple?

When I installed the system, XML-Simple was installable and thus icon-naming-utils could be installed as well. I now removed icon-naming-utils as well, and when I now try to install gnome-themes, it pulls in icon-naming-utils which pulls in XML-Simple, exactly as you say. So I'd say, that there's no missing dependency. Marking as INVALID. Nonetheless it would've been nice, if portage would've discovered, that an "indirect" dependency is missing.
maybe it would have with -D option (deep dependency checking)
