My question is why do you have files in both locations? |
30 |
|
31 |
/etc is the old location, /etc/portage is the new location, so simply |
32 |
delete the one you do not want. |
33 |
|
34 |
It's easy enough to determine for yourself which one has higher |
35 |
priority. Make the files differ in some way that causes an easy to |
36 |
detect change in emerge output. Move the file out of the way one by one |
37 |
and run energe world. Then you will have the answer to your question. |
