So slots no longer "just work" like they have for the past 15 years? You now have to explicitly request installation in a slot by setting the multislot flag? Did I miss an eselect news warning about this? Is this true for all packages that were previously installed in slots, or have gcc and a select few been chosen specially for this breakage? -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
