Hmm, the 2.2.23 (slot-0) package provides gmime-uu(en|de)code here. Presumably the 2.4 slotted packages provide gmime24-uu(en|de)code. Either that or put them in an appropriately named subdir somewhere. That's the problem when directly executable binaries are shipped with versioned shared-object/library binaries. There's others (uu(en|de)view, at least) on my system that could be symlinked to uu(en|de)code here, as well. But uu<tab> doesn't list any uu(en|de)code executables in the path, at all, which is fine by me. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
