This is about upgrades using the package manager. If there are two /'s sharing one single /usr, when you upgrade, one of the /'s will be upgraded consonant with the /usr, and the other will not be. How then to upgrade the other /? Its package database will no longer be in sync with its /usr. -- hendrik _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
