I've been living without acroread for a couple weeks now, and evince |
10 |
has proven to be a good replacement except when I want to print |
11 |
something (usually I only want to print a couple pages or just a |
12 |
portion of a page). |
13 |

After the big multilib switch was thrown over the weeked I removed the |
15 |
one remaining emulation library, and everything is now updated. So |
16 |
far, ncurses has been the only package for which I've had to add the |
17 |
abi_x86_32 USE flag (32-bit ncurses is required for grub-legacy). |

So, just for the sake of curiousity, I asked emerge what would be |
20 |
needed to install acroread again. I was pleased to see that emerge |
21 |
now thinks it possible and only wants to rebuild 81 packages with an |
22 |
added abi_x86_32 USE flag (I was actually expecting more). |

Assuming that will work, it appears to be an easier path than getting |
25 |
okular to install. I've been trying to figure out exactly what that |
26 |
would entail, but emerge is as yet unabled to come up with a list of |
27 |
dependencies. I'm currently on emerge iteration number 12 or 13, and |
28 |
we seem to have gone into a loop where emerge alternates between |
29 |
demanding that I add the qt4 USE flag for media-libs/phonon, and then |
30 |
demands that I remove it. |

|
32 |
I think we'll see how re-installed acroread goes... |
