I did that updating (updating from 2.2.* to 3.0) myself a few weeks ago. I just did a pgk_delete -f to force the removing of the package, leaving the old a.out libs in their compat directories. I wouldn't dare to remove them, as I have quite a lot of self-compiled software that might use them. ciao lutz -- Lutz Albers, lutz@muc.de, pgp key available from Do not take life too seriously, you will never get out of it alive.
