While trying to install ghostscript-gpl I got this one:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[blocks B ] app-text/ghostscript-gpl (is blocking app-text/ghostscript-esp-8.15.4-r1)
[blocks B ] app-text/ghostscript-esp (is blocking app-text/ghostscript-gpl-8.62)
* Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be
* installed at the same time on the same system.
It seems there is still a difference ?!?!
I want to use turboprint (propietary linux printer driver suit)
finally. What to choose?
Should I remove first both version, than install one (which one?) and
then reinstall cups and then reinstall turboprint and then finally
being able to print again (or not?) ?
Before doing anything else which screws up my system even more I would
thank the experts here for any advice in advance ! :)
Kind regards
Meino Cramer
