Hi, my balsa-2.4.8 (GIT) has a very annoying bug. Sometimes it splits incoming messages. Here I have an mbox-file first written by postfix. I doubt the message comes this way from postfix since earlier when I used a different mail client, I have never seen such "splittings" I have attached one such email. What I see in Balsa: First part: listed as "david kahl Re:[gentoo-user]emerge depclean gcc ---------------------------------- 2010/10/21 Michael Hampicke <gentoo-user hadt biz>: >\u200b >> May I just unmerge my old gcc ? >> Is it save ? >\u200b > Yes it's save to unmerge your old gcc. > You could also - using quickpkg - create a binary package of your old > gcc before unmerging (for backup puropses). >\u200b ---------------------------------- second part: listed as <blank author> (No subject) ----------------------------------- instructions already posted). However, for myself, I use tons of third party physics software, among other things. A lot of it is not very recent, and sometimes they are picky about which gcc compiles is (and sometimes I need a shell script to switch the gcc for execution of those programs and switch back afterward...joy!) So if you do a lot of compiling of external programs that are not as well maintained and updated, there's not a lot of reason to *unmerge* an old gcc. There are two reasons to actually remove gcc's in my opinion: revdep-rebuild wants to reinstall all of them, you need the disk space. I have 10 options under gcc-config. I'm not at all recommending this to everyone, but just making the point that, depending on what other things you have going on, it's a good idea to check any third party stuff, at the very least, before just removing it, since there's not much harm in keeping a few extra gccs around for rainy days. ~daid ---------------------------------- Any help is every much appreciated, Helmut.
