You might want to upgrade it. Interestingly, expat is viral and just using equery d expat isn't enough to find everything that's linked against it, usually. Then your revdep-rebuild is broken.

It did reemerge gcc-4.1.2 and gcc-3.4.6 for the bazillionth time, but when trying to do "emerge -uD world", aforementioned error "checking for XML::Parser... etc" persisted.

I keep to a fairly recent upgrade path, so I rarely fall behind more than a week. The expat1->2 upgrade had been in the works for some time, but the einfo flew by without me seeing it, as it often is. Interestingly, half the packages on the system depend on expat, and all of them were suddenly broken. The first thing I noticed was Firefox behaving odd.
