Hello  Meino,

I'd file a bug, as it looks like 2.12 in slot 0 and 3.0 in slot 1 both  
install some of the same files.  It looks like version 3.0 was just  
added to the tree, so either it doesn't need to be in a separate slot,  
or else those files need renaming.

Deleting and re-emerging would probably work, but if you later remove  
one of the versions, those files will also be removed, and the  
remaining version will probably fail due to the missing .so file(s).
