This one might be tricky. Here's a tip: include version numbers of packages |
| 34 |
that are giving trouble, and whether you run stable, testing or (god forbid!) |
| 35 |
a mixture - this can be rather important in guiding one to what to do next (a |
| 36 |
process mostly defined by instinct rather than by say reason) |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
The error looks like an API break between pygtk and whatever provides |
| 39 |
AtkObject. That is part of the gtk accessibility toolkit, and the relevant |
| 40 |
files come out of a package called atk. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
My first guess is that pygtk and atk are now out of sync on your machine. Try |
| 43 |
this: |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
emerge -av1 atk |
| 46 |
emerge -av1 pygtk |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Post back if that doesn't work. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Another tip: search bugs.gentoo.org first before posting - oftentimes |
| 51 |
theproblem is already known and reported on. In this specific case however, I |
| 52 |
didn't find anything. |
