You didn't supply any output or any details about your system, so your |
| 23 |
question can't be properly answered. I can make a guess, so from the man |
| 24 |
page: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
r reinstall (forced for some reason, possibly due to |
| 27 |
slot or sub-slot) |
| 28 |
R replacing (remerging same version) |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
I'd guess libreoffice needs to be rebuilt and is triggered by a sub-slot |
| 32 |
(in the old days you would have had to run revdep-rebuild or emerge |
| 33 |
@preserved-rebuild to find this) |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I imagine this is in no way related to zsh-completions, that just |
| 36 |
happens to be on the command line. It's related to running emerge. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
If you require a better answer, please provide proper emerge output. |

Rage questions don't usually lead to correct explanations |
