61 Hi,
62 Use the "--tree" option of 'emerge' (or "t" for short), it gives you a
63 tree-view of the packages, and what is most important the dependencies
64 even with some installed packages.
65 Think that when going to 3.4.2 it's a simple upgrade as this is the
66 latest version, but the Downgrade is due to some installed package which
67 depends on <=3.4.1-rX and consequently requires a downgrade (see which
68 one using "--tree").
69 Check man emerge, etc.
