Great! You're welcome. |

FWIW, if anyone else is having problems emerging both slotted versions |
| 69 |
of libwpg, my problems with libwpg:0.1 and libwpg:0.2 having filename |
| 70 |
conflicts was due to having the doc USE flag set. |
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
It's bug http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=364857 |
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
I know some have mentioned that in general it's not a good idea to have |
| 75 |
the doc USE flag enabled globally. |
