7 That doesn't doesn't seem to be a recognized version.

9 From the `emerge binutils` that failed, it gives this version:
10
11 Emerging (1 of 1) sys-devel/binutils-2.21.51.0.6
12
13 I see the following related to binutils in $EPREFIX/usr/portage/sys-devel/binutils
14
15 $ ls usr/portage/sys-devel/binutils
16 binutils-2.18-r04.1.ebuild binutils-2.21.51.0.6.ebuild Manifest
17 binutils-2.19.1-r01.1.ebuild ChangeLog metadata.xml
18 binutils-2.20.1-r1.ebuild files
19
20 (question: what determines which versions I have at my disposal?)
21
22 I tried the older one binutils-2.20.1-r1 using the ~ syntax you showed me :-)
23
24 $ emerge --oneshot --nodeps ~binutils-2.20.1-r1
25
26 And that one worked.

28 thanks! Onward...
