12 Actually the user will want to know all versions, consider two different
13 SLOT.. then you get to know that the package foo++ has linked c++ code,
14 but not if its 1.0.55 or 2.1.91, that both nicely coexist and have
15 different library dependencies.. since I'm in that position myself with
16 some things (glade-- gnomemm gtkmm) I prefer to know the exact
17 versions, and then I can take the time to clean out old stuff that are
18 caught with the SLOT updates while I'm still at it. Makes my whole
19 system a bit cleaner.

22 here we count on our users to have SLOT unset in their early system
23 installs, and thus are likely to have multiple versions or the same -r
24 due to this.
