I seem to recall you having -fortran all the time tho. It's the change |
| 36 |
that breaks things. I mentioned it in case he is using kde-meta since |
| 37 |
it should pull in the same packages as on mine. If that is so, he will |
| 38 |
end up with broken stuff and will need to fix them. |

This is one of those situations where it depends on what you have |
| 41 |
installed and if you are changing something. This doesn't apply to |
| 42 |
everyone just those have not had -fortran set before and installed kde-meta. |

This may not apply to you but it may apply to others. |
