Display-If-Installed: <sys-apps/paludis-0.24 |
| 16 |
Pretty reliable for this case which affects only users upgrading from |
| 17 |
previous versions to >=0.24. How likely is that someone has had such |
| 18 |
version previously, then uninstalled paludis completely leaving config |
| 19 |
files around, and now installs >=0.24? So likely it's worth that future |
| 20 |
fresh installs of say 0.50 will display this news too? |
