Symptom: dbus-binding-tool won't run because of a missing version of expat Research: We probably need to rebuild the package which provides dbus-binding-tool because expat was updated to a new version which caused it to break, so we:
# equery b dbus-binding-tool [ Searching for file(s) dbus-binding-tool in *... ] dev-libs/dbus-glib-0.73 (/usr/bin/dbus-binding-tool) Solution: # emerge dev-libs/dbus-glib Explanation: If dbus-glib had a new stable version available when the big batch of updates came through this past week, then it would have been inserted into the order between the expat update and the next package which would call dbus-binding-tool during its build. This would have solved the problem automatically but since there was no update to dbus-glib... this happened to everyone. The first time I went through this (I had 2 systems to update), I went for a revdep-rebuild after i had this problem but found that it would downgrade my newly updated kdelibs because konqueror hadn't been updated yet which required older versions of other things which required the older kdelibs... it was a mess and kdelibs takes a while to compile. So, I decided to then attack the dbus-binding-tool problem directly and then started thinking more clearly. I was reading the last several replies to this issue and I couldn't find any one of them to be short and sweet. So, that's my solution - quick and to the point :-) -Statux
