libreoffice-bin prevents the update (amd64 stable):

dev-libs/icu:0

  (dev-libs/icu-51.1::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) conflicts with
    =dev-libs/icu-49* required by (app-office/libreoffice-bin-3.6.4.3::gentoo, installed)

And the problem is?

It just prevents the update until updated itself.

The problem is that I cannot install a new openoffice-bin package on a *stable* system.

That stabilization broke two important packages (at least) for me:
openoffice and vmware (bug #465126). I understand that there is nothing we can do about vmware, blah blah blah.

However, my stable system is broken. I can not open word documents and do my daily job even in a virtual environment.

Sorry for the flame, but I feel it's important to let developers know how users feel sometimes.

The vmware thing is up to them.
The libreoffice-bin itself forces icu downgrade itself. So it won't let you to keep broken environment. Or if you already had the libreoffice-bin on the system it even won't allow the icu upgrade to happen, unless you force it with --nodeps.

Anyway if you are unable to install libreoffice-bin on stable then it is bug in portage dep solver and you should fill a bug, because it should handle the icu downgrade correctly.
