i was trying to restate the following quote from a previous email in this thread:

"That's the reason that gimp-2.1 cannot be installed into the same prefix as gimp-2.0. It's supposed to replace it. Currently there's the temporary condition that gimp-2.1 installs quite some things into directories versioned as 2.1. This is supposed to be changed back to 2.0 when gimp-2.2 is ready."

restate it and suggest a quicker fix like a few others i have seen.

this quote i pasted is not about a naming problem?

No, it isn't, there is no naming problem. Everything including the "temporay condition" is completely intentional.

okay, i thought that the job of not actually answering questions was given to dave neary, but i have been wrong before.

first of all, temporay or temporary and second of all, you just said that you did not answer my question here.

my question was about the logic which lead to this condition of this gimp and its ability to install different versions, side by side. like the good old days.

Hi,

I am sorry but I think I answered that question. Which part of the answer did you not understand? I've quoted my answer below.

"That's the reason that gimp-2.1 cannot be installed into the same prefix as gimp-2.0. It's supposed to replace it. Currently there's the temporary condition that gimp-2.1 installs quite some things into directories versioned as 2.1. This is supposed to be changed back to 2.0 when gimp-2.2 is ready."

I admit that "temporary condition" probably doesn't make much sense but that was me using your words. What I was trying to say is that the current behaviour of installing things into directories versioned "2.1" is going to be reverted for 2.2. If possible, everything will go into the same directories that gimp-2.0 uses.
