The problem happens on Gentoo systems of a certain age and older. It happened here and not on a newer install on another box. I immediately traced it to somewhere in the docbook suite. Personally, what I did was I removed everything docbook, essentially, figuring that something was conflicting. # emerge --unmerge docbook-sgml-utils docbook-xml-simple-dtd docbook-xml-dtd docbook-sgml-dtd sgml-common SGMLSpm docbook-sgml docbook-dsssl-stylesheets build-docbook-catalog This removed all versions of these packages, obviously. At this point, esound built because it noticed the lack of docbook and it's documentation went together in a different fashion, which is where the ebuild was getting hung up. However, things will be needing docbook eventually, so this is what I ended up doing: # emerge build-docbook-catalog docbook-sgml This installed 14 packages for me, all relating to docbook. I redid the emerge on esound and it was also successful. So all I really did was clean up docbook. When I update, I use "emerge -uD world" so if I'm missing something with docbook in the future, then it'll get corrected as needed. I sat on this issue for a while, too. I don't like to go in and do sizable sandblasting like this if I don't have to but when it comes to slotted packages like parts of docbook, sometimes it's necessary as demonstrated in this case. Hope that works for you. > -- > Justin Patrin -- Statux <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
