Short answer: It is perfectly normal. Don't worry. Longer answer: The reason you have all of them installed is that some ports need one of them, and others need another one etc. It is perfectly safe to have all of them installed at the same time. You can delete any or all of them if you wish, but don't be surprised if they get pulled in again by one port or another. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se
