I'm updating a system now... it appears that it will work. It did. Then revdep-rebuild did this: emerge --oneshot =sys-devel/gettext-0.16.1 =dev-perl/locale-mak etext-lexicon-0.64 =net-libs/liblockfile-1.06-r2 =dev-libs/apr-util-0.9.12-r1 =d ev-libs/apr-util-1.2.8 =www-servers/apache-2.0.58-r2 =dev-util/subversion-1.3.2- r4 =media-gfx/graphviz-2.12 =www-apache/mod_perl-2.0.3-r1 =www-misc/libapreq2-2. 08-r1 ... worked fine. I have aother system with X-libs and such (but no Gnome). I'll see how that goes... x11-misc/shared-mime-info-0.21-r1 failed. first needs XML-Parser. Emerged that. Then, it complains it needs gettext to work. So, revdep-rebuilding. Anyway, it seems like there's a problem resolving emerge order.... I think you must emerge -u expat, then XML-Parser, then revdep-rebuild, then auDNv world. Perhaps forcing rebuild of XML-Parser and gettext after updating expat would be a fix?
