Apparently on my and janos666's systems the /usr/lib64/libbfd-2.25.1.so library was erroneously left behind by a previous depclean. If you dare, first make sure the library is not owned by any current package: `equery b /usr/lib64/libbfd-2.25.1.so`. If it's not, removing the file manually should do the trick. Remember to take precautions though, khayyam suggests binpkg but I just took a copy of that library so I could put it back with a rescue system if binutils broke.

And to help with that, if you have equery (app-portage/gentoolkit) try running `equery l '*texlive*' | xargs emerge -Ca` and then try updating @world again. -- Tuomo Hartikainen

For OpenRC there's also restart_services[1]. I've grown to like it better over checkrestart. Typically it restarts the services that need restarting automatically, but you can define services as "critical" and need an extra flag (-c) for restarting them. For a mail server, for example, you might want to take extra care before restarting Postfix after something has updated. [1]: https://dev.gentoo.org/~mschiff/restart_services/ -- Tuomo Hartikainen

It is in the tree as it comes with the app-office/calligra suite. He means he only wants Krita from that bundle, not the Words or Sheets etc. programs. -- Tuomo Hartikainen

Set CALLIGRA_FEATURES="krita" in your make.conf so you only get Krita, and emerge app-office/calligra. -- Tuomo Hartikainen

As a clarification: port 587 *may* be used with STARTTLS while port 465 is the actual SSL/TLS port. -- Tuomo Hartikainen
