Hi folks,Have the same on my system- glib looks to be a C library of utilities, I'm not familar enough with freebsds various package tools to generate a list of forward/backward dependencies on it, but perusing /var/db/pkg/glib-<version>/+CONTENTS looks like 'pkgconfig' is the only dependency for the earlier version, while Perl, gettext, the iconv library and a few others are dependent on the newer version (unless I'm reading the file deps backwards..).
I've recently started playing around with X and various desktop managers. There is one point that seems a little troublesome however... after recently browsing about the installed ports/packages on my system, it appears that different programs require different versions of one particular package. Here is one such instance:
glib-1.2.10_10 = up-to-date with port glib-2.2.3 = up-to-date with port
Is this going to cause any trouble at some later point? If so, what would be the best way to remove the earlier version and be sure that only the newest version remains?
Thank you for your help, John W. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Both packages install in mutually exclusive directories (with versions built into dir names), so it shouldn't be a problem...
