[gentoo-user] Have portage lost its memory?

[Jules Colding]

Hi,

Todays "emerge --sync && emerge -vauDN world" made me wonder a lot. 

A lot of packages should be updated according to portage, but a lot of
them seems to be wrong with regard to the reported version number. 

Take e.g. Evolution of which I have version 2.4.2.1 installed. Portage
is saying that I have version 2.2.3-r3 installed and that I should
update to 2.4.2.1:

[ebuild     U ] mail-client/evolution-2.4.2.1 [2.2.3-r3] +crypt -dbus -debug -doc +gstreamer +ipv6 -kerberos -krb4 -ldap -mono -nntp -pda -profile +spell +ssl 11,233 kB

So what exactly is going on here?

Thanks,
  jules
