Hmmm, I thought that portage handled dependencies automatically. The other thing I don't understand is why parrot and openoffice failed in the first place. Aren't they're linked against, for example, libicule.so? I thought the whole point of making libicule.so a symlink to the actual library was to allow transparent library upgrades (provided the entry points don't change). > > > BTW, re-emerging parrot fixed parrot's problem, and I have 5 hours, 31 > > minutes and 40 seconds before I can tell you if it fixed openoffice's > > problem (I'm assuming it will). > > Now if openoffice fails to build against the new icu, then _that_ is a bug. > :-) Openoffice build successfully. > > -Richard -- Vladimir G.
