Of course try a -p run first to get an idea of what it's going to rebuild. Something you have is still linked against an old libexpat, thus creating the issue. By unmerging or updating that, you should eliminate the problem, allowing pango to update in turn. Note that it's possible you'll have to update what you can, skipping packages that fail the first round, then try it again. expat is a widely used dependency, so you may have several layers of dependencies and have to loop the list multiple times, building what can be built each time while skipping what can't, until it's all done. That isn't normally necessary as revdep-rebuild should get the correct order, but sometimes it doesn't, for one reason or another. If that happens, continuing on with packages that will compile, then looping the loop to pick up the others, seems to work quite well, here. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
