Hi Raghav,

You might be right for users who only install user applications.

However, if I understand correctly, with the v4 patches that I looked at
earlier, and presumably also the v5 patches (based on what you wrote), I
guess that conflicts _would_ happen if someone tries to install 'gtkmm'
and 'cairomm' together in the same profile.  It would be good to make
that work properly, by selecting appropriate versions of these *mm
packages that are compatible with each other.

What do you think?

      Regards,
        Mark
