No, it doesn't. It depends on icon-naming-utils, which depends on XML-Simple; it's icon-naming-utils which is failing, so you have that, so you should have XML-Simple. You broke your XML-Simple, somehow. Try re-emerging icon-naming-utils. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 41124 ***
I had the same issue when trying to upgrade to GNOME 3. I found that a re-emerge of Xml-Simple fixed the problem though.
