Howdy, |

Is having duplicate packages a good or a bad thing in gentoo? I'm clear |
| 4 |
about having duplicate packages for the kernel. I'm using the more |
| 5 |
recent one, but hanging on to the old one just in case. |

Perhaps, the reason for having duplicate packages is the fact that |
| 8 |
various packages I have installed on the system may require a different |
| 9 |
version of a package I may already have installed. Is that it? |
