Re: [gentoo-amd64] Re: gnome/gdm hangs after emerge

Hi Duncan,

thanks for your reply.

I've launche revdep-rebuild; it found 2 problems about libcamel and
libedataserver. Portage is unable to automatic repair and §I'm working on
it.

I think that these libraries, aren't blocking my DE. Are you agree?
