See the difference? One is v1.5 the other is v1.6. The explanation is in
the full output of what rhino is and the openoffice ebuild:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ eix rhino
* dev-java/rhino
Available versions:
(1.5) 1.5.5-r4
(1.6) 1.6.5
{doc elibc_FreeBSD examples source}
Homepage: http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/
Description: An open-source implementation of JavaScript
written in Java.
From openoffice-2.4.0.ebuild:
COMMON_DEPEND="
java? ( >=dev-java/bsh-2.0_beta4
>=dev-java/xalan-2.7
>=dev-java/xalan-serializer-2.7
>=dev-java/xerces-2.7
=dev-java/xml-commons-external-1.3*
>=dev-db/hsqldb-1.8.0.9
=dev-java/rhino-1.5* )"
There are two SLOTs for rhino - 1.5 and 1.6
OpenOffice explicitly DEPENDS on the 1.5 SLOT for rhino if you
have "java" in USE. You probably have that so a deep world emerge will
pull rhino-1.5* in.
You don't currently have rhino installed so when you issue "emerge
rhino", portage will check for the latest one and install it. It just
so happens that in this case, the latest is not the same SLOT that OOo
wants.
