Some time ago (31 Oct 2008) I renamed |
| 2 |
perl-core/File-Spec-3.2701 to perl-core/File-Spec-3.27.01 |
| 3 |
by adding the new file and removing the other. |

I expected portage to do an downgrade. |

|

It didn't. |

I realised it when i got this bug <https://bugs.gentoo.org/248178> |
| 10 |
and after joining #-portage I add a mask for a non-existing package to |
| 11 |
package.mask. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Today I was CC'ed to https://bugs.gentoo.org/105016 because "package.mask |
| 14 |
contains invalid entries". |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
In the meantime another bug was filed about portage "doesn't attempt to |
| 17 |
downgrade packages on keyword changes..." <https://bugs.gentoo.org/252167> |
| 18 |
with a fix. |

I am confused. Will portage warn about the downgrade now and forever? |
