As far as I can tell, the hack in lines 543-546 of the libreoffice-5.2.0.4.ebuild in PR1907 should be removed: 543: # FIXME: Hack add missing file 544: exeinto /usr/$(get_libdir)/${PN}/program 545: doexe "${S}"/instdir/program/libsaxlo.so 546: The library is only used during buildtime, and the objects of that library are linked in the libmergedlo.so for the runtime. The installed copy of the library is broken anyway, because it links against another library that is itself not installed anymore. $ ldd /usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/libsaxlo.so linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffc36fa8000) libcomphelper.so => not found libuno_cppu.so.3 => /usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/libuno_cppu.so.3 (0x00007f2cc70e3000) ... This makes revdep-rebuild unhappy.
Could you give it a try?
(In reply to Andreas Sturmlechner from comment #2) > Could you give it a try? I've been using the 5.2.0.4 in production for five days now, and apart from a slight redraw problem with the calc tab bar under KDE Plasma 5 everything seems to work just fine. The libsaxlo.so problem came up with a routine revdep-rebuild run. For context see http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Myssing-link-to-libcomphelper-so-on-5-2-0alpha1-td4183924.html I removed the installed library manually and revdep-rebuild{,.sh} says nothing is broken. Rebuilding with a modified ebuild will take a couple of hours, so it'll have to wait until the machine is done with the day's work, eight hours or so.
Now built with those four lines removed. libsaxlo.so no longer gets installed, no other files are removed from installation, revdep-rebuild reports no error, most files that don't include timestamps in content have the same hash they did in the earlier installation in /var/db/pkg/app-office/libreoffice-5.2.0.4/CONTENTS. Also still works.
Bumped PR in anticipation of a 5.2.1.2 release, with mergelibs hack dropped.
Preparing to update directly to 5.2.1 :-)
