Subject: [gentoo-user] automake slots - will they all be installed?
X-Archives-Salt: ed645c5d-b0a7-4a62-b144-62d20fb647e7

A recent emerge -upD world shows this (among other things):

[ebuild  N    ] sys-devel/automake-wrapper-1
[ebuild  NS   ] sys-devel/automake-1.9.3
[ebuild     UD] sys-devel/automake-1.5 [1.8.5-r1]
[ebuild  NS   ] sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r2
[ebuild  NS   ] sys-devel/automake-1.6.3
[ebuild  NS   ] sys-devel/automake-1.7.9
[ebuild  NS   ] sys-devel/automake-1.4_p6

Why are there so many automakes?  Will they all be installed (except for
the downgraded version of course)?

I had a quick look around archives / changelogs / man emerge, but i
couldn't find out exactly what will happen when I go ahead here.

TIA,

If you fool around with something long enough, it will eventually break.
