I had installed openoffice-1.1_beta2, but I needed to remove it to install openoffice-bin-1.1_rc2. I did so and successfully installed the binary. No I notice that /usr/bin still has the ooffice executable and the oocalc, etc., links from the prior install. Had to remove them by hand. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge openoffice-1.1_beta2 2. emerge -C openoffice-1.1_beta2 3. USE="~86" emerge openoffice-bin-1.1_rc2 Actual Results: Success, but stale executable and links remain in /usr/bin. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Aug 3 19:11 oocalc -> ooffice lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Aug 3 19:11 oodraw -> ooffice -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8431 Aug 3 19:11 ooffice lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Aug 3 19:11 ooimpress -> ooffice lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Aug 3 19:11 oomath -> ooffice lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Aug 3 19:11 oopadmin -> ooffice lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Aug 3 19:11 oosetup -> ooffice lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Aug 3 19:11 ooweb -> ooffice lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Aug 3 19:11 oowriter -> ooffice Currently installed pakcage is in /opt.

this would only happen if the file is touched/modified in someway the symlinks remain because they're still valid
openoffice-bin also installs the ooffice start script. So the links should be there
