[gentoo-dev] gconf-1.0.7-r2 ebuild is broken

[Collins Richey]

When I tried to emerge galeon-1.0, this gconf ebuild was called out as
a dependancy.

Here's the flaw:
(lots more lines like these)
xml-dir.c:930: structure has no member named `root'
xml-dir.c:936: structure has no member named `root'
make[2]: *** [xml-dir.lo] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/var/tmp/portage/gconf-1.0.7-r2/work/GConf-1.0.7/backends'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/var/tmp/portage/gconf-1.0.7-r2/work/GConf-1.0.7'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

Please fix.

I think this is a dependancy problem....but, I think the fix is:

remerge libxml2

and to be safe, unmerge old libxml2, gconf and galeon before merging the new
ones.

It's not a dependency problem since GConf doesn't depend on libxml2 we
can't add libxml2 >= 2.4.10 to the dependency-line.

It only shows for people that already have libxml2 <= 2.4.1, if you do,
you should update it to 2.4.10 _AND_ unmerge the old version.

You don't have to unmerge gconf and galeon as suggested below.
