well, do any bugs exist in bugzilla about 8.4.4 ? you could always bootstrap a stable system (after marking 8.4.4 stable locally) and see if everything works out. ive been using 8.4.4 on my systems w/out problems ... i'd agree with utx here on why trying to SLOT a package just because you want to compensate for a newer one being broken is the wrong path to take. it's like when people suggested SLOTing openssl just because you have to recompile packages against the newer openssl ... it's a hack, not a solution. -mike -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
