Apology Alan, but this still isn't very clear to me. |
| 33 |
Yes, I did check with "eix nano" and it showed that I had latest version |
| 34 |
installed. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Even "emerge -Ca nano" showed I had no prior version installed. |
| 37 |
So am still confused why is it has "-> 2.3.1-r2" |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
I figured it must be a pointer to an older version but since I had a |
| 40 |
newest version installed why pointer to an older version? |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
man eix only shows "eix-test-obsolete" is equivalent to eix -tTc |
