| 1 | Hello list, |
| 2 | |
| 3 | I had an interesting one today: app-emulation/virtualbox-extpack-oracle on a |
| 4 | ~amd64 box was to be updated, but it couldn't because the licence had changed |
| 5 | from PUEL to PUEL-11. That one change caused another 35 packages to be |
| 6 | dropped because of conflicting dependencies. I needed a few minutes to find the |
| 7 | problem, and it was easily fixed, but I was interested to see that such a small |
| 8 | licence change could spread consequences so far. |
