Well, here we go again! Again an update of Gentoo stable where emerge tries |
| 2 |
to upgrade icu and KDE in one run (and this time additionally libreoffice). |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
Other essential libraries (e.g. libpng) can always be updated, because the |
| 5 |
ebuild preserves the old shared libs and let me run revdep-rebuild against |
| 6 |
the old ones afterwards. Not so icu. The ebuild happily removes any trace of |
| 7 |
the old shared libs with the result that half of the stuff that is |
| 8 |
*required* to build kdelibs is now broken. The build aborts and leaves |
| 9 |
behind a broken system. And this happened now not for the first time! |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
The lengthly procedure is now to hard mask the new icu version, update your |
| 12 |
system (incl. automatic icu downgrade, kde and libreoffice upgrade), drop |
| 13 |
the mask and upgrade anything again, run revdep-rebuild and compile again a |
| 14 |
lot of big KDE packages (and this time inclding libreoffice). |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
The most annoying fact is, that none of this would have been necessary with |
| 17 |
portage 2.2, but maybe we have to wait for 2.1.11.500 before 2.2 gets |
| 18 |
stable... |
