The proper dependency should be pulled in (x11-misc/shared-mime-info
depends on dev-util/intltool, which depends on dev-perl/XML-Parser).
My guess is that you recently upgraded perl, which might require you to
rebuild the perl modules. You can try rebuilding just
dev-perl/XML-Parser, but I recommend using perl-cleaner [1] to rebuild
all the modules:
perl-cleaner --allmodules -v
And then try to rebuild shared-mime-info.
