Any Ideas?
I should think i could emerge sys-apps-0.5.9.1-r3 all by its lonesome.

thanks in advance

expat issue...

solution: reemerge XML-Parser, do a revdep-rebuild, continue with what you were doing

[Two meter troll]

currently re-emerging amarok since that was the thing that failed so bad. so we will see if it will install this time out.
If it works i will edit the sub to solved if it dont i will be again asking for help.

you should not use XMMS anymore - it's unmaintained and buggy.
use audacious - same look, but maintained.

just my .02$

thats what they say in the several threads about xmms but ive never had any problems with it and it works.

sorry im not on the band wagon about old or unmaintained tools. the same reason i wont give up my double bit ax for a wood splitter. No one makes the type of double bit i have but it still works and the wood splitter might work but it requires much more maintenance to keep it running.

qualitatively there is a vast difference between the old and simple with its bugs that i know; and the new and shiny with its bugs i don't know. if i wanted to run the buggy crap i would run ANY of the other linux distros. with gentoo i get to choose what i run. if this means i have to keep up an app that someone else has deemed unfit than i can do that.

IMO if Gentoo was concerned with how buggy an app was than all of the gecko web browsers would have been cut out of the tree as would several hundred other packages as it is gentoo devs seem concerned with who maintains a package. since i maintain my own software and i built this operating system then it is my choice to run things they may not like.

PS> these emoticons are sorta fun.
