I'm not sure why you try to accomplish it by telling your computer to try and force installation of both gnome 1.4 (gnome-core,gnome-libs) and gnome-2.2(gnome-terminal, gnome-session, gnome-desktop, libgnome* ) Frankly, there is no problem to overcome here. Just decide on what version you want installed, you cannot get both. (libraries coexist, binaries overwrite) you refer to gnome-base/* as to being added, yes... emerge gnome, will give you the latest metapackage, the * refers to the fact that its a lot of small packages that make up gnome, instead of "one big lump" //Spider irate developer -- begin .signature This is a .signature virus!
