If you need to go back: > emerge unmerge openoffice-bin > emerge --usepkgonly openoffice Well I just decided to run with the newer package a week or 2 on another system. So I did this (part of what you suggested): emerge unmerge openoffice echo ">=app-office/openoffice-bin-1.9.87" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask echo "app-office/openoffice-bin ~*" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords emerge openoffice-bin Works like a charm!
