If you run a KDE desktop it's a lot more than LibreOffice: $ equery d openldap * These packages depend on openldap: --->8 kde-apps/kldap-17.12.3 (net-nds/openldap) --->8 $ equery d kldap * These packages depend on kldap: kde-apps/incidenceeditor-17.12.3 (>=kde-apps/kldap-17.12.3:5) kde-apps/kdepim-meta-17.12.3 (>=kde-apps/kldap-17.12.3) kde-apps/kmail-17.12.3 (>=kde-apps/kldap-17.12.3:5) kde-apps/kmail-account-wizard-17.12.3 (>=kde-apps/kldap-17.12.3:5) kde-apps/korganizer-17.12.3 (>=kde-apps/kldap-17.12.3:5) kde-apps/libkdepim-17.12.3 (>=kde-apps/kldap-17.12.3:5) kde-apps/messagelib-17.12.3 (>=kde-apps/kldap-17.12.3:5) Seems to be no way out of it. -- Regards, Peter.
