I'm getting a lot of perl build errors since moving to expat-2.01.
For example, gtk2-perl no longer builds. I tried the latest ~amd64 (1.145)
and get the same error:

Can't load 'blib/arch/auto/Gtk2/Gtk2.so' for module Gtk2: libexpat.so.0:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at
/usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux/DynaLoader.pm line 230.
at -e line 0
Compilation failed in require.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
make: *** [build/podindex] Error 2


I guess I'm going to have to put expat 2.01 in package.mask.

magically appears in front of AZ Nomad:

Just do a revdep-rebuild. It sorted out both of my boxes.
