Hi, Peter. Thank you for your experience. In fact, as an "emerge -e" is quite automatic, and I could let the system alone a whole weekend, I didn't worry (nor had the time) to do it in parts to try to figure out which one would succeed, in special because on the following monday it just _should_ be working, or the launch of the new program version would be delayed (for who-knows how much time) and would put my neck at risk ;-). Best Regards, Francisco
