This question has been answered probably several hundred times in the forums. It pops-up at a frequency of about 1-2 each day.

If you had done a quick search, it would have turned up all of these threads.

Quick answer:
1. Edit /etc/make.conf and add the following line:
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"

or
2. Type: ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -up world

Actually, this appears to be a problem with the gstreamer-0.6.0-r2.ebuild. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS has little to do with it, since this package has KEYWORDS="x86 ~ppc ~sparc ~alpha". Furthermore, I've not used ~x86 at any point when doing an emerge on this system.

I believe the correct solution is to update this ebuild and change the depend for >=dev-libs/lxml2-2.4 to libxml2-2.4.24, which is also marked as a stable package.

I did this on my system and it solved the problem.

And for the record, I did search the forum and had not seen any other mention of this specific problem.
