21 Is this the correct behaviour? The nvidia-kernel ebuild was (most likely
22 ) orignally installed from ~x86, though I normally stick to x86, but
23 even so, are there any situations where Portage should say it is going
24 to upgrade a package (not downgrade) to an ebuild with a lower version
25 number as indicated above?

27 Thanks,
