Yeah, in fact. There's this thing called SLOTs that allows two versions of the same package to be installed simultaneously if their SLOT is different. gtk+ is one of those cases. $ grep SLOT /usr/portage/x11-libs/gtk+/*.ebuild /usr/portage/x11-libs/gtk+/gtk+-1.2.10-r10.ebuild:SLOT="1" /usr/portage/x11-libs/gtk+/gtk+-1.2.10-r9.ebuild:SLOT="1" /usr/portage/x11-libs/gtk+/gtk+-2.2.1-r1.ebuild:SLOT="2" /usr/portage/x11-libs/gtk+/gtk+-2.2.1.ebuild:SLOT="2" /usr/portage/x11-libs/gtk+/gtk+-2.2.2-r1.ebuild:SLOT="2" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/IAr9XVaO67S1rtsRAm7NAKDfo9DW2DdwTvCrzwPSvbjHcBWFFwCfUsDs lXs3PdqTxDFKxNEopjhk+yw= =Zxm4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
