While trying to install ghostscript-gpl I got this one: Calculating dependencies... done! [blocks B ] app-text/ghostscript-gpl (is blocking app-text/ghostscript-esp-8.15.4-r1) [blocks B ] app-text/ghostscript-esp (is blocking app-text/ghostscript-gpl-8.62)
* Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be * installed at the same time on the same system. It seems there is still a difference ?!?! I want to use turboprint (propietary linux printer driver suit) finally. What to choose? Should I remove first both version, than install one (which one?) and then reinstall cups and then reinstall turboprint and then finally being able to print again (or not?) ? Before doing anything else which screws up my system even more I would thank the experts here for any advice in advance ! :) Kind regards Meino Cramer john stampe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [08-11-17 18:24]: > Daniel, > > Thanks for the info.
