Currently only gnome-base/librsvg-2.31 is in portage, and this version has problems. For example, trying to open an SVG file in EOG or doing gtk.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_file(...) in Python will fail with an error about the file type not being recognized. Installing gnome-base/librsvg-2.32 corrected these problems. Also, the GTK+ 2/3 automagic patch is no longer needed for 2.32. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
That's why gnome 2.32 is masked for now, it's not complete. Thanks for understanding. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 339225 ***
