BTW the response "if you do 'emerge -blah world' everything's hunky-dory" ignores the fact that some -- most ? -- users don't want to update 'world', which can take hours, eg if OpenOffice is one of the pkgs in 'world' (currently there's an '-r1' update which fixes some obscure vulnerability, which i checked out & it doesn't threaten my system with my use of OO). ok yes, the next similar response will be "then don't use OO ... ", but at that point i return to my other more important concerns of today. really, 'world' was created back in the early days of Gentoo & needs a certain amount of rethinking by the devs, but it's their time & effort to choose how they use & i can happily dodge around the problem as i've been doing for a long time. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
