HarfBuzz-0.0.gir -o HarfBuzz-0.0.typelib error parsing file HarfBuzz-0.0.gir: Line 20, character 32: The attribute 'name' on the element 'type' must be specified make[4]: *** [HarfBuzz-0.0.typelib] Error 1 I found a similar build error reported here: http://forum.foresightlinux.org/index.php?action=printpage;topic=1558.0 In that case it turned out that the gobject-introspection version needed to be upgraded. After updating gobject-introspection-common and gobject-introspection (but also a bunch of other packages) to 1.36.0 and 1.36.0-r1 respectively, building harfbuzz completed succesfully. Checking the ebuild shows that it depends only on version 1.32: sboisen@nikanuuranu ~ $ grep gobject $(equery which harfbuzz) introspection? ( >=dev-libs/gobject-introspection-1.32 ) # eautoreconf requires gobject-introspection-common >=dev-libs/gobject-introspection-common-1.32 $(use_with glib gobject) \ So I am guessing that my previous versions of these dependencies were >= 1.32 but not recent enough to be compatible with this version of harfbuzz. I therefore propose that the ebuild is corrected to depend on whichever version is sufficient for the harfbuzz build. The above mentioned versions of 1.36.0 / 1.36.0-r1 worked for me. Thanks Søren
Please attach the entire build log to this bug report.

This bug can be closed. Everything compiled fun after doing a @system upgrade!
No! Tamer you are missing the point, don't say that a bug report you didn't make can be closed. The whole point is that the build failure happens at random - since portage doesn't see the right dependency requirement, the build sequence between gobject-introspection and harfbuzz _for a full system update_ is random. So other people can and will run into the same issue until the ebuild is fixed.
Right; >=harfbuzz-0.9.23 with USE=introspection appears to require gobject-introspection-1.34 or higher. Reported upstream at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75384
Fixed, thanks for reporting. + 22 Feb 2014; Alexandre Rostovtsev <tetromino@gentoo.org> + harfbuzz-0.9.23.ebuild, harfbuzz-0.9.26.ebuild, harfbuzz-9999.ebuild: + Require >=gobject-introspection-1.34 (bug #497562, thanks to Søren).
