I'm not touching either of the two db packages as some app probably needs one version while another app needs the other version. I'm guessing that gtk/gnome packages like gconf or glib aren't compatible, i.e. a package needs glib-1.2-10 and glib-2.2.3 will NOT work for it. I would get rid of gnome-panel-1, but I'm betting some app has a panel-applet that requires it... Regards Hall -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Multiple versions of packages installed ??
I was just looking at what packages I had installed while helping someone and noticed I've got two versions of gkrellm installed, v2.1.20 and v1.2.13. Both have * after their names and I assume that means installed. I just checked and the gkrellm that's running is the older one. Why does emerge leave older packages installed ?? Why didn't the newer package run instead of the older ?? Is this an config option *I* need to change ?? Thanks in advance Hall -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

It also appeared to read my existing configuration file for the older gkrellm, which is nice. Have a problem with the labels for lm-sensors which I'll start a new thread on.

Re: [gentoo-user] Multiple versions of packages installed ??
Because they are slotted. Version 1 goes in one slot, 2 in another slot. This is a feature of portage that allows different versions to coexist on the same machine. For example, qt, gtk have different versions. Some programs need version 1.x, others 2.x. With Gentoo they can coexist.
