My pleasure. Given a choice I wouldn't use any *Office for that, and resort to LaTeX -- much less painful to me :) -- caóc

Run `make show-depends` to see the dependencies. -current reports these, apart from others: boost-libs-1.67.*:../../devel/boost-libs boost-libs>=1.67.0:../../devel/boost-libs Apparently boost-jam and boost-headers are a recursive dependency. Try `make clean clean-depends` in misc/libreoffice, and rebuild again. If there are still any errors, attach the output of the whole building process. Use tee(1) for that. -- caóc

Thanks for offering ideas but building libreoffice still fails, now it's complaining about boost-jam-1.65 and the installed boost-jam-1.67. I tried 'make deinstall clean' for boost-jam as well, it still fails. Even if version 1.67 of boost-headers and boost-jam are explicitly uninstalled something is convinced they're installed and that's stopping make from just building and installing version 1.65 and getting on with building libreoffice. There must be something in libreoffice's install scripts that's calling explicitly for version 1.65 of boost-jam and boost-headers, any idea where I should look? Or how do I really (really) force pkgin and/or pkgsrc to accept that version 1.67 of them isn't already installed? I've tried the -f switch but either it's broken or I need to flip a switch on something else that I'm unaware of. I'm at a loss, but willing to try other ideas, thanks to all who are trying to help.

One thing that keeps coming up is that people want to do builds from inconsistent pkgsrc trees, where they update some of it, and not others, or do partial binary updates. Generally, without a full upgrade of everything, you are on thin ice, but removing packages you don't need "pkgin ar" reduces the odds of trouble. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: Libreoffice after upgrade to NetBSD 8.0
I wasn’t sure if it was a pkgin issue or something else, but I have run into this problem just installing packages using pkgin without having pkgsrc installed. But if the solution is to run “make deinstall clean” in devel/boost-headers, doesn’t that require that pkgsrc be installed on the system? If that’s the case then what is causing the problem when it occurs while installing from the pre-build binary collections? Is it an inconsistency in the binary collection?

Re: Libreoffice after upgrade to NetBSD 8.0
I’ve run into this a few times using pkgin. Not sure if it’s a problem with pkgin or with the packages and their dependencies. What seems to work for me is to remove the newer version of the package that it’s complaining about, then retrying the installation. In you case, remove boost-headers-1.67.0nb4, then try the install of libreoffice again. This may not be the best or even correct solution, especially if you have lots of packages installed. But in my installation I only have a few packages installed and this seems to get me past that hurdle.
