Thank you very much! That explains it and your suggestion fixed the |
12 |
problem. However, is this really the _right_ behaviour? |
13 |
|
14 |
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 |
