Yes! I am so glad never to see RPM - I just emerge sync, emerge -up world
and I see what I need to do. I've been using Gentoo for a couple of months
but still have a Caldera WS 3.1 box which will go away shortly. Recently I
needed to update something on the Caldera box so I downloaded the RPM -
whoops need something else from Gnome. Rpmfind has a bazillion copies of
that library. Stuff it, I don't have time to learn Gnome or try a few of
the bazillion copies to see which one works.
