I had libexttextcat 3.3.1 installed and the compile fails because this is not a recent enough version of libexttextcat. The dependency on libexttextcat is in the ebuild, but there is no version number requirement Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install libexttextcat-3.3.1 (yes, it's from a long time ago) 2. emerge -pv =app-office/libreoffice-5.2.3.3-r1 Actual Results: configure: error: Package requirements (libexttextcat >= 3.4.1) were not met: Requested 'libexttextcat >= 3.4.1' but version of libexttextcat is 3.3.1 Expected Results: successful compile Fixed with simple patch: --- /usr/portage/app-office/libreoffice/libreoffice-5.2.3.3-r1.ebuild 2017-02-28 11:50:50.000000000 -0800 +++ libreoffice-5.2.3.3-r2.ebuild 2017-03-07 09:50:11.964880772 -0800 @@ -92,7 +92,7 @@ >=app-text/libabw-0.1.0 >=app-text/libebook-0.1 >=app-text/libetonyek-0.1 - app-text/libexttextcat + >=app-text/libexttextcat-3.4.1 app-text/liblangtag >=app-text/libmspub-0.1.0 >=app-text/libmwaw-0.3.1
Ever since the migration to git, which lists Aug 10 14:47:49 2015 with the first commit, there has been not a trace of anything else in tree than current stable 3.4.4. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 605376 ***
Arg, sorry for the dup. I searched but the default search didn't show me the closed bug and I didn't notice it wasn't searching closed bugs. Like the dup, I was upgrading from a very old system. Thanks for letting me know.
