The wxwindows interface of darcs is currently unmaintained, which lead me to disable wxwindows in current ebuilds of darcs already. Furthermore, wxwindows has incompatibly changed its interface, which causes this error for the versions of darcs where wxwindows building was still enabled. I've done three things: * removed darcs 0.9.20 from the tree * removed wxwindows from darcs 0.9.23 * marked darcs 1.0.1 stable on x86 I hope this fixes the problem. Thanks for the report, ks
