OK, thanks again. I see a big part of my problem, being a user type, |
| 43 |
is that I really don't understand slots at all, other than letting the |
| 44 |
system somehow have multiple versions of the same package for whatever |
| 45 |
reason. (Which is far beyond me!) |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Anyway, I did emerge -C on the offending packages and then emerge |
| 48 |
-pvDuN world and revdep-rebuild again to make sure everything was |
| 49 |
correct. All seems good. Now --depclean is working and I can clean up |
| 50 |
at the next level. |

The problems of administering a machine 350 miles away. It only |
| 53 |
happens once or twice a year and there's often a lot to learn and a |
| 54 |
lot to do. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
thanks again, |
| 57 |
