After uninstalling libreoffice and doing an emerge --depclean, I got: !!! existing preserved libs: >>> package: app-text/mythes-1.2.4 * - /usr/lib64/libmythes-1.2.so.0 * - /usr/lib64/libmythes-1.2.so.0.0.0 * used by /usr/bin/lyx (app-office/lyx-2.3.0) It seems lyx has an automagic dep on app-text/mythes. It does check during configure: checking mythes.hxx usability... no checking mythes.hxx presence... no checking for mythes.hxx... no checking mythes/mythes.hxx usability... no checking mythes/mythes.hxx presence... no checking for mythes/mythes.hxx... no checking whether to use included MyThes library... yes So depending on whether mythes is installed or not, it will use a bundled version.
