My experience spread over 2 days was fairly straightforward. (1) Emerged Libpng 1.4.3 ; (2) 'revdep-rebuild' showed 42 rebuilds, some of which wouldn't compile ; (3) 'lafilefixer --justfixit' helped ; (4) 'r-r' showed a much shorter list ; (5) KDE (3 or 4) wouldn't start, so re-merge Qt3 Kdelibs3 & Ksokoban Kmahjongg3 Kworldclock ; (6) re-merged Qt4 (9 pkgs) Kdelibs4 Speedcrunch ; (7) along the way, a few other pkgs needed re-merging, eg Openmotif for Xpdf ; (8) Xulrunner & Openoffice were listed by 'r-r', but seem ok asis ; (9) I deleted the Libpng '12' lib, which is now obsolete. HTH anyone else updating: just allow a few hours for re-merging. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
