[gentoo-user] ERROR: app-text/xmlto-0.0.18 failed.

OK.  I run into this a lot.  I have had it.  I'm about to try unmergeing
this puppy and seeing what breaks.  This is what I get:

I put in the whole thing just in case.  I started a thread a long time
ago on the Gentoo forums and it is yet to be fixed, that I can see
anyway.  Is there a trick to this thing or can I remove it?

I did a emerge -ev system and it still does it.  This is my USE line in
make.conf:

>USE="acl acpi alsa amd arts artsd artswrappersuid cdr chroot clanJavaScript dbus doc ethereal f-prot fdftk gaim gcj gimpprint gkrellm gphoto2 gtk gtkhtml hbci hpijs innodb java javascript jbig justify kde mmx mozdomi mozilla mysql ofx offensive openoffice -oss parse-clocks ppds pysol scanner scribus tcltk tiff tkinter truetype tuxracer udev usb X xml xprint yahoo 3dnow "

If you need more info, let me know.  I'll go fetch it.  Commands might
be nice though.

I'll be a bottom poster for you too.  LOL

Thanks
