Just keyword all currently installed packages (w. version number) |
| 15 |
and change ACCEPT_KEYWORD to "x86". After a few months (if you are |
| 16 |
lucky) or a few years (if you are unlucky), x86 will catch up and pass |
| 17 |
the package versions you have installed. |

If you want it done yesterday, however, I agree that it is easier to |
| 20 |
re-install x86. |
