> The default setting of the text useflag in xmlto was changed from on to off. Now portage wants to reinstall xmlto without USE=text (because of the changed useflag, I assume you used "emerge -uDNav" or similar), but can't do that (because xdg-utils needs the useflag on). I admit the output is not really optimal. :) It helped to look at the git history of xmlto.
