It likely will. libexpat is a SERIOUSLY depended upon library. You don't |
| 9 |
realize quite /how/ seriously, until you go thru an upgrade like we did, |
| 10 |
and the old version that everything depending on it was compiled with is |
| 11 |
no longer there. I figure it's gotta be pretty close to half of a |
| 12 |
deskktop system, dependent on it. Some will be more, particularly if they |
| 13 |
have both KDE and GNOME installed. Some will be somewhat less, but in |
| 14 |
any case, it was certainly an education for /me/. I wouldn't have guessed |
| 15 |
anything besides X and glibc would have that many dependencies, so I was |
| 16 |
really surprised. I'm certainly not the only one! I think it has taken |
| 17 |
a good portion of Gentoo by surprise, and a good portion of what's left |
| 18 |
has still to get the shock! |
