Description Alec Meyers 2012-06-18 16:33:58 UTC
# emerge -auDt @world

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[nomerge       ] app-editors/kile-2.1.2 
[ebuild  N     ]  app-text/acroread-9.5.1-r1  USE="cups nsplugin -ldap -minimal" LINGUAS="en -ja -ko -zh_CN -zh_TW" 
[ebuild  N     ]   dev-util/bsdiff-4.3-r2 

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] n

Of all things, why would it want me to install *that*? Shouldn't it be able to use any of the perfectly good open-source PDF viewers?
Comment 1 Franz Trischberger 2012-06-19 08:37:19 UTC
Turn on USE="postscript" for okular, and if you enaled USE="pdf" for kile you need to enable USE="pdf" for okular, too. As you have kile installed, yet, I think you just missed the move from USE-Flags "ps" to "postscript" for okular.
Comment 2 Maciej Mrozowski gentoo-dev 2012-06-19 21:40:26 UTC
In short:

|| (
	$(add_kdebase_dep okular 'pdf?,postscript')
	app-text/acroread
)

But yeah, like FF suggested: emerge --newuse should help
Comment 3 Alec Meyers 2012-06-19 22:31:08 UTC
Thanks, re-emerging okular worked! I guess this can be resolved.

Just curious, does it actually specifically need acroread or does it just use any pdf reader? If not, I think it would be nice if there some other ones in the list - acroread should be the last choice considering it's closed-source and often a source of vulnerabilities.
