Weird messages from revdep-rebuild about openoffice

This is what I get if I run revdep-rebuild:

Same issue here.

Changing them to 744 gets around the message but updating openoffice still gets you nowhere. libtk8, libdb, and libgmp have all been updated to the next version number (at least on my system) so I still get these same dependency issues on each revdep-rebuild.

OpenOffice needs to be rebuilt with the new objects.

If you use binaries in portage the best ways around this is use the -p feature with revdep-rebuild and then emerge the ones you know are b0rked with --oneshot. Basically there's no way around that erroneous output unless you emerge the older deps or build it yourself.

revdep-rebuild is known to have problems with some binary packages. I have OO built from sources and do not see that problem on my box.

Solved. OO is binary data, and is therefore not using the same python version as the one installed on my system. :oops:

Next time I will read the help pages before posting here.

Does anyone know the "proper" Gentoo way of getting depclean and revdep-rebuild not to hassle me for installing openoffice-bin??

try adding app-office/openoffice-bin to your /var/lib/portage/world file.
revdep-rebuild won't handle binary packages correctly.

For what its worth, I went ahead and let revdep-rebuild re-emerge my openoffice-bin, but, the next time I run revdep-rebuild, it wants to do the exact same thing again...

Is this a bug?

I did the above to stop revdep-rebuild from rebuilding java 1.5 and opera repeatedly.

Clapper,

Instead of following the wiki tip, I used this info from the revdep-rebuild script:

My SEARCH_DIRS_MASK is simpler:

Could you check what version of gentoolkit you have installed (emerge -s gentoolkit)? I'm running 0.2.1_pre8, but versions prior to 0.2.1_pre3 have an older revdep-rebuild that doesn't use SEARCH_DIRS_MASK or other variables -- you need to update to the more recent version if that's the case.

I have a similar problem but not the same.

I've just done the libungif / libgif dance and ran revdep-rebuild which wanted to emerge openoffice-bin-1.1.4. I used to have this installed but cleaned it out in favour of openoffice-2.0.0 built from sources.

Editing revdep itself doesn't seem to be a good idea for me, even if it is a script only. Shouldn't Gentoo use a revdep-rebuild.cfg in /etc? I think that would be much cleaner.
