Well I did trust it yesterday when it decided it ought to remove MySQL. What the hell, I thought: I can put it back easily enough. So today when I started KMail it wouldn't. I had not only to remerge MySQL but to add mysql USE flag to qt-sql in package.use and remerge qt-sql as well. -- Rgds Peter Linux Counter 5290, 1994-04-23
