Not always, AFAIK Imagine there's some 3.x versions in slot 3, 4.x in slot 4, 5.x in slot 5. With this atoms you could end up with both 3.x and 5.x installed, and no 4.x :) It doesn't try to satisfy both atoms with one version. > Still a special syntax for ranges seems like a good idea.

Now it spits some error about conflicting deps that cause that. - -- Vlastimil Babka (Caster) Gentoo/Java -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGcmHKtbrAj05h3oQRAjxQAJ9jYtK7aAAWBvYttCTLW1Kt7a/OzACeL2Oe aLZwTVOKohkRfcyyfRKpqMY= =gYLD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
