Fair enough, I did not dig into it at any depth. Without knowing the real cause of this failure and if nothing else resolves it, I would try to rebuild gettext & perhaps libxml2: emerge -1aDv sys-devel/gettext dev-libs/libxml2 then try emerging dev-libs/appstream once more. Running ~arch involves more troubleshooting and experimenting than I have time at present, hence I stick with stable where I can. -- Regards, Mick
