Isn't there also the option of leaving the existing package installed until |
| 23 |
the bug is fixed? If the package is currently working for him (the bug may |
| 24 |
be in some section of the program he seldom uses or it may only rear its head |
| 25 |
in certain configurations or circumstances which don't affect him,) why |
| 26 |
unmerge what's already there? |
