I don't know gnome packages, but I'd guess finding error 1 would be in order.

Are you sure you haven't missed running python-updater and/or revdep-rebuild? My bets on that bug report (as well as your system, given the very limited amount of info so far) would be on "probably a broken system". For example, the bug reporter is freely mixing and matching ancient stable stage3 packages with bleeding-edge testing stuff from ~arch. And all this without -uDN options for emerge (nor revdep-rebuilds), so he really gets a fully mixed-up bag of untested combinations. And then it all backfired on him ... probably his ancient python from the stage3 tarball got bumped to a later version anyway, and thus all python-related packages would sorely need re-emerging, i.e., running python-updater or a manual emerge ... What we'd need is some actual log outputs revealing what is going on. Maybe it is a bug. Maybe it is just a broken system. Maybe it is both? -- Arttu V.
