1 Hi,
2
3 I'm sorry. This is probably a really simple question.
4 I have a new install of Gentoo.
5 emerge -uDpv --newuse @system results in a new slot for gcc, *downgrading*
6 the current version (from 5.4.0 to 4.9.4)
7 No other package is selected for merging.
8
9 Why??? What command line can I give to show why a new slot is being pulled
10 in?
11 (I wouldn't particularly mind, but as I am on an old x86 celeron, this will
12 take hours to complete, for no obvious benefit...)
13
14 Thanks
15 Phil
