app-text/build-docbook-catalog depends on util-linux
 

I'm puzzled by this.

It seems we're masking util-linux because of it's dependencies yet, now
dev-libs/glib's dependency structure ends up depending on
app-text/build-docbook-catalog and ends up not mergeable because of
util-linux.

Help ?

Alan.

I don't remember the chain of dependencies off the top of my head, but I
think it ends with depending on either util-linux or getopt. You may be
able to work around this by keywording app-misc/getopt--at least, that's
what I did. I haven't reported it on bugs.gentoo.org because I didn't
have time to test it enough.

Thanks Johan. I'll try keywording getopt.
