Description Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2021-07-30 08:03:50 UTC
>=dev-libs/libffi-3.4.2 (~arch) provides libffi.so.8. Looks like this package relies on libffi.so.7 and holds the update back.

Consider adding libffi-compat:7 as an alternative. One example to do it is to provide runtime alternative:

-       dev-libs/libffi:0/7
+       || ( dev-libs/libffi:0/7 dev-libs/libffi-compat:7 )

    app-office/wps-office: allow libffi-compat:7 alternative
    
    Allow libffi.so.8 from dev-libs/libffi and libffi.so.7 from
    libffi-compat:7 to coexist in a single system.
    
    Otherwise this binary package attempts to downgrade libffi.
