After updating to glibc-2.5, openoffice-bin fails to start with this error: /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin: symbol lookup error: /lib/libnss_db.so.2: undefined symbol: db_create_4002 When I saw that, I said to myself, re-emerge nss-db and got this: aclocal: macro `AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' required but not defined I went through several tries to try and get nss-db to rebuild and finally gave up. Of course, I can't say for sure that rebuilding nss-db would fix openoffice-bin, but it's all I'm left with. (I re-emerged openoffice-bin for fun, which didn't changed anything, of course, since it's a binary package.) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have nss-db and openoffice-bin installed before glibc-2.5 upgrade 2. Upgrade glibc-2.5 3. Observe that openoffice no longer works 4. Try and rebuild nss-db... Foiled again! Actual Results: Openoffice no longer works. Expected Results: Openoffice still working. In summary, the inability to build sys-libs/nss-db on a current system is the likely cause of my loss of use of openoffice-bin. It's probable that this affects openoffice as well. I'm picking major because openoffice is kinda important. ;-)
Not an OO.org bug. Post the actual emerge errors you get when compiling sys-libs/nss-db, ebuild version, emerge --info and reopen then.
Here is the nss-db build error: >>> Unpacking nss_db-2.2.3pre1.tar.gz to /tmp/portage/sys-libs/nss-db-2.2.3_pre1-r1/work * Applying nss_db-2.2.3pre1-external.patch.bz2 ...
