40 The default setting of the text useflag in xmlto was changed from on to off.
41 Now portage wants to reinstall xmlto without USE=text (because of the changed
42 useflag, I assume you used "emerge -uDNav" or similar), but can't do that
43 (because xdg-utils needs the useflag on).
44
45 I admit the output is not really optimal. :) It helped to look at the git
46 history of xmlto.
