29 As far as gnome is concerned, updating expat from 1.9 to 2.0 breaks a
30 lot of packages. (it can be fixed with a temporary symlink though),
31 e-d-s also breaks the clock panel applet.

33 If revdep-rebuild is giving you hard time, it's possible you haven't run
34 emerge --depclean in a while. You may have some "cleaning" to do. Check
35 out your world file (/var/lib/portage/world) and see if you need
36 everything in there as a world dep.
