Yep. I'd start with bonobo > Thanks, what I'm really wondering about is how in the heck did it get > this way. thats simple. once, ORBit2 depended on linc. then, ORBit2 took in linc, and changed the interfaces to not collide, and then never linked to linc again. after that, all things that had been playing with linc, found themselves with a dependency they didn't -need- because its already in ORBit2, and the package was stale and left to die in peace. however, some people dislike having a rotting package on their system, and remove them, then the things that haven't been rebuilt against the new ways will realize "uh oh, I miss something" and complain.. .and this error propagates up to things like evilution. the solutions are either to leave linc and forget about it, or start to rebuild things. //Spider -- begin .signature This is a .signature virus!
