gtkspell won't build unless XML-Parser is installed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -1 gtkspell Actual Results: stops with an error: "checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool" Expected Results: successful build emerge -1 XML-Parser gtkspell will build successfully.
> stops with an error: "checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool" That's not an undeclared dependency on XML-Parser. That's intltool's problem. Intltool uses XML-Parser, and gtkspell depends on intltool. But portage sucks and isn't rebuilding XML-Parser after an upgrade. So, sorry, you're like, the millionth person to hit bug #596664 You probably need to run perl-cleaner. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 596664 ***
