23 I didn't upgrade and am not *trying* to upgrade to 1.4, so why would
24 those apply to this case?

31 If you look at my output, I currently have 1.2.40 installed, which I see
32 is now hard masked (M). The problem is portage wants to:
33
34 1. upgrade 1.2.40 to 1.2.43-r1
35
36 *and*
37
38 2. install 1.2.43-r2 in a NEW SLOT.
39
40 This appears to be plain wrong and a bug, no?
