Need to install libreoffice (welcome to Tax Time!).

Building either libreoffice or libreoffice-bin failes with
the same error downloading lpsolve from an
apparently non-exitant "dev.gentooexperimental.org".

Disabling lpsolve or switching to coinmp, or disabling both, don't
avoid the issue: lpsolve seems both required and unavailable.

Q: Any known workaround?

Thanks

I'm not sure where experimental anything is coming from.  Do you have
some overlay set up? How recently have you synced?

I see libreoffice-7.2.5.2-r1 and lpsolve-5.5.2.0 as the only stable
versions in the main portage tree, and both were re-installed within the
past three days.

Sending the somewhat small file off list.  Keep a eye out for it.

That is strange.  I just deleted the lpsolve file from my distfiles dir,
and ran "ebuild path/to/ebuild fetch" and it downloaded just fine - but
not from
SRC_URI="http://dev.gentooexperimental.org/~scarabeus/${P}.tar.xz" (from

I can't figure out where it made the switch in servers.  It does also
look like the dependency on lpserve in the libreoffice ebuild does NOT
depend on the libreoffice_extensions_nlpsolver setting.

If you read through the bug you will find that it is addressed, at least indirectly. See comment #4.

If you take a look at the libreoffice ebuild you will find that the sci-mathematics/lpsolve dependency is not controlled by the nlpsolver USE flag. This means it depends on it unconditionally.
Only coimp is controllable via flag.
Whether this is correct or not is another issue.

I posted the above to that bug, and asturm pointed out that
GENTOO_MIRRORS in make.conf is responsible. So, if you're retrieval
of the tarball fails because it can't find the dead site dev.gentooexperimental.com, take a look at your GENTOO_MIRRORS settings.
