I did a routine update today (which I do most days): emerge --sync emerge -auvND world emerge --depclean --ask
That last command removed 50 packages! [listed below] It looks like that's allmost all the result of the libreoffice-bin upgrade from 24.2.7.2 to 24.8.4. Looking at the two ebuild files show about 50 fewer RDEPENDs in 24.8.4. Does Libreoffice no longer use all those libraries? Or are they somehow now getting bundled up in the "bin" part part of the package? >>> Unmerging (1 of 50) virtual/perl-IPC-Cmd-1.40.0-r4... >>> Unmerging (2 of 50) sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-6.1.127... >>> Unmerging (3 of 50) sci-mathematics/lpsolve-5.5.2.11-r2... >>> Unmerging (4 of 50) media-libs/zxing-cpp-2.2.1... >>> Unmerging (5 of 50) media-libs/libzmf-0.0.2-r1... >>> Unmerging (6 of 50) media-libs/libvisio-0.1.8... >>> Unmerging (7 of 50) media-libs/libpagemaker-0.0.4-r1... >>> Unmerging (8 of 50) media-libs/libfreehand-0.1.2-r1... >>> Unmerging (9 of 50) media-libs/libcdr-0.1.8... >>> Unmerging (10 of 50) media-gfx/fontforge-20230101-r2... >>> Unmerging (11 of 50) games-engines/box2d-2.4.1... >>> Unmerging (12 of 50) dev-util/xdelta-3.0.11-r1... >>> Unmerging (13 of 50) dev-libs/xmlsec-1.3.6... >>> Unmerging (14 of 50) dev-libs/redland-1.0.17-r3... >>> Unmerging (15 of 50) dev-libs/liborcus-0.19.2... >>> Unmerging (16 of 50) dev-libs/hyphen-2.8.8-r2... >>> Unmerging (17 of 50) dev-lang/rust-bin-1.83.0-r2... >>> Unmerging (18 of 50) dev-db/unixODBC-2.3.12-r1... >>> Unmerging (19 of 50) dev-db/mariadb-connector-c-3.3.8... >>> Unmerging (20 of 50) dev-cpp/libcmis-0.6.2... >>> Unmerging (21 of 50) dev-cpp/clucene-2.3.3.4-r9... >>> Unmerging (22 of 50) dev-build/automake-1.16.5-r2... >>> Unmerging (23 of 50) app-text/mythes-1.2.5... >>> Unmerging (24 of 50) app-text/libwps-0.4.14... >>> Unmerging (25 of 50) app-text/libwpg-0.3.4... >>> Unmerging (26 of 50) app-text/libstaroffice-0.0.7... >>> Unmerging (27 of 50) app-text/libqxp-0.0.2... >>> Unmerging (28 of 50) app-text/libodfgen-0.1.8... >>> Unmerging (29 of 50) app-text/libnumbertext-1.0.11... >>> Unmerging (30 of 50) app-text/libmwaw-0.3.22... >>> Unmerging (31 of 50) app-text/libmspub-0.1.4... >>> Unmerging (32 of 50) app-text/libexttextcat-3.4.7... >>> Unmerging (33 of 50) app-text/libetonyek-0.1.12... >>> Unmerging (34 of 50) app-text/libepubgen-0.1.1-r1... >>> Unmerging (35 of 50) app-text/libebook-0.1.3-r3... >>> Unmerging (36 of 50) app-text/libabw-0.1.3... >>> Unmerging (37 of 50) app-office/libreoffice-l10n-24.2.7.2... >>> Unmerging (38 of 50) app-crypt/argon2-20190702-r1... >>> Unmerging (39 of 50) sci-libs/colamd-2.9.6... >>> Unmerging (40 of 50) media-libs/glm-1.0.1... >>> Unmerging (41 of 50) dev-libs/rasqal-0.9.33-r2... >>> Unmerging (42 of 50) dev-libs/libixion-0.19.0-r1... >>> Unmerging (43 of 50) app-text/libwpd-0.10.3... >>> Unmerging (44 of 50) app-text/liblangtag-0.6.7... >>> Unmerging (45 of 50) app-arch/rpm2targz-2021.03.16... >>> Unmerging (46 of 50) sci-libs/suitesparseconfig-5.4.0... >>> Unmerging (47 of 50) media-libs/raptor-2.0.16... >>> Unmerging (48 of 50) dev-util/mdds-2.1.1... >>> Unmerging (49 of 50) dev-libs/librevenge-0.0.5... >>> Unmerging (50 of 50) app-crypt/mhash-0.9.9.9-r3...
