41 are you saying that you only have one version of binutils installed
42 (2.27)? That seems to be the norm nowadays, the other slots are probably
43 for "old stuff"
44
45 IUf you have other versions' cruft still lying around in
46 /usr/lib64/binutils/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/, then move that junk out the
47 way and try again. It's very likely dynamic runtime nonsense that
48 depclean didn't know about
