Thank you very much! That explains it and your suggestion fixed the |
| 12 |
problem. However, is this really the _right_ behaviour? |
| 13 |

o portage actually knows something about tetex 2.0-r1 since it is |
| 15 |
emerged |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
o --upgradeonly promises to not downgrade: regardless of whether |
| 18 |
there is currently an ebuild for the installed version, the |
| 19 |
version is known, and IMHO that fixes the semantics of |
| 20 |
downgrading |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
o maybe --pretend could provide an indication that no ebuild for |
| 23 |
the currently installed version can be found |
