I tested it and it actually works well. It may *appear* to work, but you now have two disparate and conflicting packages, each claiming to own (at least a subset of) the same payload of installed files. Install one, or the other, and things will surely appear to work out okay. Even install both together, and it may still seem to work. Now, with both installed, remove just one, and you'll break the other. You are creating a scenario in which mingw-get must lose track of what files have been installed by which package; IOW, a recipe for confusion and potential problems down the line. -- Regards, Keith. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
