Hi

Have a look at our new list, gentoo-user, as this issue is discussed
there. to fix, do the following:


unmerge all libxml versions like:

  find /var/db/pkg -iname 'libxml*.ebuild' |xargs -i \
       ebuild {} unmerge

then remerge libxml:

  emerge dev-libs/libxml

NOTE: do not merge libxml2 again !!


PS: please use our new gentoo-user list for user related questions, and
help, thanks :)
