Re: [orca-list] Arch Linux Problems

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

When you say re-install everything from testing, do you mean to
uninstall all that came in the past day or so and then do another
'pacman -Syu'? I mean, I have the latest update of everything as of
this morning.  I'm a bit unclear here.  Thanks and sorry to the list
for the Arch specific talk but we're about to be successful with
latest Orca again.

Thanks again for the help to both of you.
