.. libreoffice refuses to load with the error (Slackware-current/Plasma 5/Alien)
I hope that this is not a duplicate entry.

The basic solution is that libreoffice needs to be recompiled, I would suggest checking AlienBob's blog for updates. He may already be aware it needs to be rebuilt and has not yet had the time.

yep.. every time boost gets updated, I got a recompile everything I got built using boost. .. hea in current, It should be the same with not current.

thank you both,
I am not worried about the issue. I always test each update in VM Slackware, if this will get somehow broken, it does not affect my working system.
Just wanted to let users know that maybe they should hold off the update until office package (and anything that requires boot) gets recompiled.

Those who use -current should already know, that an update to boost will require rebuilds of dependent packages. This is why those who use -current must read and understand the change log. The biggest clue in the 'Fri Dec 14 18:59:34 UTC 2018' change log is 'Shared library .so-version bump.' I never update, with out first checking the change log.

I tried rebuilding Libreoffice using Eric's script but after quite some time it failed citing missing files at line such and such in a script. I deleted without noting specifics. I'll wait until he rebuilds.

waiting for the update is always a good option. Perhaps that is why he waits, and others too, before they update, to get the updates to update what they got a update.

How many updates can an update date, if an update could update date?

All of the updates an update can update, if an update could update date.

That is how many updates an update would update, if an update could update date.

a request to Alien Bob:

Couldn't it be possible to have as 'icu4c-compat' a 'boost-compat' package to solve that kind of breakage each time icu4c, boost and other package seed the panic?

How about Poppler, too?

Yes that one would already be underway, if only I did not have to drive out to the supermarket to get food.

LibreOffice needs a patch if you want to compile against boost-1.69.0.
Be patient, I am getting there. In the meantime look in my repo for a new "boost-compat" package which should appear soon.

thanks in advance.
+1 for poppler-compat and boost-compat!

update: it's already there.

no food, get a candy bar.

It's there. Many thanks!
