Try: emerge --exclude app-office/libreoffice -NuD world This is not a permanent change but it will allow you to complete your update, then you can set the masking afterwards. Dan It worked. Thanks.

Now to get this all sorted out and Libre Office to build at leisure. Andrew FWIW, I had initially unmasked a bunch of stuff (suggested by portage) to get the first 4.x version of LO to compile. Upgrading to 4.0.4.2 only worked after I had upgraded boost and boost-build from 1.52 to 1.53. Portage had nothing to say about it, the build just failed with some weird boost errors. Cheers Paul

[gentoo-user] I don't want portage to update Libreoffice......
Hi all, As per usual an update of Libre Office is failing and causing all sorts of build troubles. I have an install, the previous version, of Libre Office working so how do I stop portage from trying to update to the latest. Emerge --search libreoffice reports Latest version installed: 4.1.0.1. In turn my /etc/portage/package.mask contains the line app-office/libreoffice-4.1.0.1 or =app-office/libreoffice-4.1.0.1 This results in portage wanting to downgrade libreoffice [ebuild UD ] app-office/libreoffice-4.0.4.2 [4.1.0.1] What do I have to fiddle so that portage won't want to upgrade libreoffice? This is stopping my -NuD world from completing so I need to suppress libreoffice for the time being and come back to it later. Any thoughts, greatly appreciated, Andrew

Hi Andrew,
put the latest version into package.mask something like this:
=app-office/libreoffice-latest-version
On the other hand, as you described you have version 4.1.0.1, but I
cannot see it in my portage tree, find it below. You would like to
keep this, I mean 4.1.0.1 version?
[I] app-office/libreoffice
Available versions: 4.0.4.2 **4.0. (~)4.1.0.4{tbz2}
**4.1. **-r2

This is stopping my -NuD world from completing so I need to suppress libreoffice for the time being and come back to it later. 4.1.0.1 is no longer in the portage tree, so 4.0.4.2 is the highest version that fulfils your settings. The solution is to copy the ebuild from /var/db/pkg into your local overlay (you will have to set one up if not already done so) which will keep portage happy. -- Neil Bothwick Daddy, what does formatting drive 'C' mean? signature.asc Description: PGP signature
