You didn't supply any output or any details about your system, so your question can't be properly answered. I can make a guess, so from the man page: r reinstall (forced for some reason, possibly due to slot or sub-slot) R replacing (remerging same version) I'd guess libreoffice needs to be rebuilt and is triggered by a sub-slot (in the old days you would have had to run revdep-rebuild or emerge @preserved-rebuild to find this) I imagine this is in no way related to zsh-completions, that just happens to be on the command line. It's related to running emerge. If you require a better answer, please provide proper emerge output. Rage questions don't usually lead to correct explanations -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckinnon@gmail.com
