Thank you for the advice. |

The reason for uninstalling the package (and the other 3 packages |
| 20 |
it depends on with --depclean), updating the rest of the system and |
| 21 |
installing it anew was that I wanted to exclude the case that this package |
| 22 |
does not update because it needs a newer versions of all packages |
| 23 |
it depends on, though I agree that running world update with --exclude |
| 24 |
and then reemerging the excluded package will do (almost?) the same. |

P.S. My previous world update was just a week ago. |
