The problem with this last one is not --deep. It is --update. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
When you issued emerge --update --deep world, it found that according |
| 30 |
to the installed ebuild portage kept, that |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
a) OpenOffice does not need rebuilding-- since there is no update |
| 33 |
according to version number. |
| 34 |
b) none of the dependencies installed by openoffice needs |
| 35 |
rebuilding, since there is no update. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
But when you issued emerge --deep openoffice, you asked for portage to |
| 38 |
consider rebuilding openoffice, which now looks at the ebuild in the |
| 39 |
tree, which, as you noted, is different from the ebuild that you |
| 40 |
emerged months ago. As such, any new dependencies that differs between |
| 41 |
the two ebuilds and any build-time dependencies will need to be |
| 42 |
satisfied. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
And my suggestion would be to just ignore this little thing with |
| 45 |
openoffice. If open office runs, and that the ebuild change is minor |
| 46 |
enough to not get a new release number, then you can probably wait |
| 47 |
until the next release of openoffice to worry about updates. |
