Hi, I'm curious how portage solves its most difficult part (in my eyes).
When installing a dynamic library (by "hand") I have often got an error messages if the corresponding library is currently in use. How does portage succeed anyway. (I have the suspicion that it does not succeed always, since sometimes only rebooting solves some very strange problems) How to replace fundamental X11-libaries on a system running X11 or even more suprising, how can I replace a running glibc ? Many thanks for enlightening me, Helmut. -- Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany
