How do I resolve this emerge issue with dev-libs/icu?

Quote:
dev-libs/icu:0

(dev-libs/icu-51.1::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) conflicts with
=dev-libs/icu-49* required by (app-office/libreoffice-bin-3.6.4.3::gentoo, installed)


Looks like Libreoffice-bin depends on an older version of the icu library.

In the while, you can just ignore the message or add this to package.mask:

Code:
=dev-libs/icu-51.1

Ah - that was the one thing that kept me building libreoffice, damn icu downgrades. The devs said (iirc) they they only do libreoffice-bin updates for stable, and not ~arch - eventually I got really tired of it and moved to openoffice-bin which has no such 'old' dependencies attached. May be worth considering doing the same.

I suspect that openoffice just bundles its own icu. That's hardly an improvement.

Possibly and probably, I admittedly have not looked in to it.
It may not be an improvement, but it's an option to be open minded towards even if just temp until libreoffice-bin is updated. I personally found it a huge improvement rather then keep doing 7 hour builds or be forced to downgrade icu and rebuild a load a packages.

Had the same thing with the gnustep-base package (not binary), and solved it with a package mask. But how about slotted icu versions, and is this not just a problem with the ebuild not defining the proper version?

UPDATE: found a bug report (not about libreoffice-bin, but gnustep): https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=413489

why icu package not support slotted versions?

It does not appear to be healthy when the different required packages are not playing nicely with each other. I would rather not go back to openoffice-bin, but if they are bundling their own icu, it strikes me that they have made a good decision.

That is diametrically opposed to Gentoo policy. If there is a package conflict, you investigate, and then open a bug.

Nowadays, portage (maybe 2.2 feature) even warns you ahead of icu upgrade what packages are going to be re-emerged. Which made me wait for libreoffice-4.0.3.3 to coincide with the icu upgrade.

Genstorm, I don't follow your logic. The conflict is with libreoffice-bin-3.6.4.3, wich was installed Dec 15, stable then and now the only active version in portage, needing icu-49, when icu wants to upgrade to 51.1.

The problem is icu, only icu, and always icu.

Each new version requires you to fix the abi for all the packages linking to icu, which are usually the bigger ones.

This thread has part of the story:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/icu/+bug/675946

Some little planning and a stable api could probably help there :roll:

...which is a bug that should be (or is already?) reported.

EDIT: hmm OK, technically, it's not a bug because icu-49 is still there and arch as well. What you want is more like an enhancement request for a bump to =libreoffice-bin-3.6.6.2 or =libreoffice-bin-4*, as I can't find anything related here right now: https://bugs.gentoo.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=libreoffice-bin&list_id=1719022

Until then it's just a little conflict that you can ignore. I've had swt-3.7.2 conflict with my installed eclipse-sdk for ages until I just recently bumped the ebuild.

Thank you both i92guboj and genstorm. I am really just an ordinary user. I recognize that there is a problem but I hardly know where the bug might be. I've never noticed icu even existed till now. I do notice, however, that libreoffice-bin is the only package installed on my mature system that requires a specific version of icu.

@figueroa
I guess it is just poor luck that new icu hit stable and libreoffice-bin is lagging behind a little.
I read yesterday or the day before that libreoffice-4 will be stabilized soon: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=456162#c6

Not sure that'll include the binary package as well ...

Well, I assume so since the bin package only gets built/updated for stable versions.

It's because the binary was built with icu-49 that it needs a dependency on that specific version or else it breaks. libreoffice (non-bin) and other source packages simply need a rebuild after icu upgrade, while with -bin you depend on the service of the packager.
