Binhost: vicious circle libreoffice and qtwebengine use flag

Portage refuses to use binary package for libreoffice.

First it complains about bluetooth, then when disabled it complains about -bluetooth.

Same with qtwebengine and screencast. First I disabled screencast for it, then it complained it wanted bindist, I enabled it and that fixed the bindist flag, but then it complained about screencast not being enabled.

So far I've tried to runt it only on x86_64-v3 binhoost, then on the generic one, the same vicious circle.

Any ideas why I can't use the binary packages for those two?

Best Regards,
Georgi

Today's update failed due to ruby31 teething troubles, and libreoffice has to be rebuilt due to changed SLOT dependencies. IIRC portage's messaging about this is a bit suboptimal.

Should be fixed by https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=de9d78a1f4fc90d54dd2c3c5c6b61acfb1c49d10 as soon as tomorrow morning's run completes.

Portage could not figure out when --with-bdeps=y is used, that an optional choice of ruby31 or ruby32 where ruby31 is listed first, is still satisfied when ruby32 is installed -- it wouldn't let the automation uninstall ruby31. Changing the preferential ordering is a good idea anyway, and prompts portage to fail in the right direction.
