the @#$%#$ *year*??) November 14th is, at an educated guess, possibly when I attempted to "upgrade" to Xorg 6.8.99-- yes, that is confirmed by a check of /var/log/portage, where a log for that program exists for November 14th. So from this I deduce that 1) xorg 6.8.99 was *really* broken/incomplete or did something radically different that etc-update and cfg-update cannot deal with, since these files were never updated or offered to update while I when I actually installed the package or at any time while I was running the package (it's not like I haven't emerged anything for the past two months); and 2) these files are now irrelevant (since I have gone back to 6.8.2-r6) and can be deleted without penalty; and 3) these files are what is confusing the update utilities, and they will "snap back" when these old-cfg and new-cfg files are deleted. Does that sound about right? Xorg 6.8.2-r6 seems to be working OK with the un-updated config files, but if deleting the November files breaks something, then I guess I'd have to re-emerge Xorg, and that takes a good two hours or more (which I'd really rather not do). So any confirmation of this proposed action being a good/bad idea before I take it would be nice :-) . Thanks, Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
