Hi, Since some days emerge asks me to go back to ICU from profile 13.0, but I don’t understand why.
~ # emerge --ask --verbose --update --deep --newuse @world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: dev-libs/icu:0 (dev-libs/icu-58.2-r1:0/58.2::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by (no parents that aren't satisfied by other packages in this slot) (dev-libs/icu-63.1-r1:0/63.1::gentoo, installed) pulled in by dev-libs/icu:0/63.1 required by (app-office/libreoffice-bin-6.1.5.2:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) ^^^^^^^ It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be installed simultaneously. For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. The following packages are causing rebuilds: (dev-libs/icu-58.2-r1:0/58.2::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) causes rebuilds for: (dev-qt/qtcore-5.12.3:5/5.12::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (media-libs/libvisio-0.1.6:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (media-libs/libcdr-0.1.5:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (app-text/libebook-0.1.2-r1:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (app-text/libmspub-0.1.4:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (app-text/texlive-core-2017-r4:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (media-libs/libzmf-0.0.2:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (app-office/libreoffice-bin-6.1.5.2:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (dev-libs/libical-3.0.4:0/3::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (dev-lang/spidermonkey-52.9.1_pre1:52/52::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (media-libs/harfbuzz-2.3.1:0/0.9.18::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (dev-tex/bibtexu-3.71_p20170524:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (app-text/libqxp-0.0.2:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (media-libs/raptor-2.0.15-r2:2/2::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) The following mask changes are necessary to proceed: (see "package.unmask" in the portage(5) man page for more details) # required by @__auto_slot_operator_replace_installed__ (argument) # /usr/portage/profiles/base/package.mask: # Andreas Sturmlechner <ast...@gentoo.org> (15 Jul 2018) # Old ICU is unsupported. ICU 58 only remains for 13.0 based profiles. =dev-libs/icu-58.2-r1 NOTE: The --autounmask-keep-masks option will prevent emerge from creating package.unmask or ** keyword changes.
