Please upgrade libreoffice-bin to latest version (4.2.3.3) and link it against latest version of icu. Actually there is older version of libreoffice-bin which unfortunately pulls in older version which conflicts with newer pulled in with another package. Due to that it is impossible to install binary version of libreoffice. # emerge libreoffice-bin These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies ... done!

However, it is also possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be installed simultaneously. You may want to try a larger value of the --backtrack option, such as --backtrack=30, in order to see if that will solve this conflict automatically.

bump... What is the progress? Noone really cares about this package?
