Anyone know how to fix this?
When emerge tries to upgrade a package to lower version and there is no "D" sign for downgrade then that package will be installed into a different SLOT. SLOTs are a means to install an already installed package but of a different version that can coexist together. In this case gnome1 packages will be installed in SLOT="1" and gnome2 are already installed in SLOT="2". You can check that with "grep SLOT /usr/portage/gnome-base/gconf/* " for gconf for example. If you want to know which packages are already installed multiple times run "qpkg --dups -v" (qpkg is part of gentoolkit). Cheers, Renat -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
