20 You can use the --exclude parameter (I think?) and it will ignore it for
21 the one command, then after everything is updated you can solve it
22 further. Try:
23
24 emerge --exclude app-office/libreoffice -NuD world
25
26 This is not a permanent change but it will allow you to complete your
27 update, then you can set the masking afterwards.
