Only if you want to remove the old version, if only to ensure that everything builds with 4.4. Every time I remove 4.3, I find myself re-emerging it because some odd package won't build with 4.4, so I ended up leaving it there. -- Neil Bothwick Last words of a Windows user: = Why does that work now? signature.asc Description: PGP signature

[gentoo-user] Bug about possibly incomplete bugfix
(I asked this on IRC more than an hour ago, got no reply, so here goes it to the list.) What's the policy when you think that a change made due to a FIXED bug needs more changes? Should you just comment it, fill another bug or change the state (I can't do the later, anyway)? As an example (the one I am dealing with, bug 283744), I found out a package was changed to add a behavior which wasn't documented in the ebuild. On one hand, the suggestion to add elog messages should belong to the original bug (now RESOLVED FIXED). But on the other hand this is a new problem introduced by the fix for that first bug, and then should have its own request. (And, as I can't change the first bug - which is FIXED, a separate bug would be initially marked as OPEN, which suits the case of a new, IMHO still unsolved issue.) But what's the most polite thing to do? -- Nuno J. Silva gopher://sdf-eu.org/1/users/njsg

They went by too fast for me to catch them, but they said something about udevent: unable to access device/000/000 . mouse and another about event9. Do I ignore, delete permanent udev rules, or do some particular incantation to fix this? If you reboot again, are the errors still there? If not, I'd say forget about it. If the errors recur you could try playing with udevadm, e.g. udevadm info --export-db and look for anything odd.
