This appears to be the opposite of a upgrade. He has a package that |
| 25 |
wants the OLD slotted version of libpng not the NEW slotted version. If |
| 26 |
I understand that correctly, he has already done the upgrade but now |
| 27 |
something needs the old package installed in addition to the new one. |

OP, my thinking is this. Be prepared for some packages to rebuild when |
| 30 |
you run revdep-rebuild. Part of me says that there won't be any but one |
| 31 |
can never be certain of these things. Also, when I did my upgrade I |
| 32 |
had no GUI until it rebuilt the packages. Again, one can never be |
| 33 |
certain of these things. I would do this: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
emerge opera |
| 36 |
run revdep-rebuild -i and say a prayer if you think it will help. |
| 37 |
emerge -uvDNa world and hope it comes out clean, provided it was clean |
| 38 |
before you started this. |

Wouldn't hurt to have a second puter around to get help here if you run |
| 41 |
into trouble. ;-) |
