Bug 339930 – emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy ">=virtual/poppler-0.8.0"

• Status: VERIFIED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Joss 2010-10-06 11:57:15 UTC]

sync'd the portage tree yesterday & today. Every time I try to run an update I am told that the ebuild for virtual/poppler-0.8.0 is missing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge --sync
2. emerge -av --newuse --update --deep world

Actual Results:  
localhost ~ # emerge -av --update --deep --newuse world

Nothing in Portage depends on virtual/poppler, so it's a local issue you're having.

^^

Either emerge -C openoffice, or edit DEPEND or RDEPEND files in /var/db/pkg/app-office/openoffice and remove virtual/poppler from there.

Or if you have openoffice ebuilds in local overlay, make sure to fix them to not depend on virtual/poppler anymore.
Or if you use layman, make sure to update all overlays too.

The point being that openoffice *in portage* doesn't depend on virtual/poppler. And virtual/poppler was removed from Portage in purpose.

Thanks for the lightning quick reply! I have no overlay's and I only used "emerge openoffice" to install it. I'll try "emerge -C openoffice" and see if that helps...

Seems to have worked a treat! Not looking forward to recompiling openoffice, but at least I'm moving forward.

Thanks very much for your help.
