Subject: [gentoo-user] Why does emerge want to downgrade firefox/xul-runner?
Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2011 03:59:38

1 Last week on all my systems emerge upgraded firefox (3.5.2-r1)
2 and xul-runner (1.9.1.2-r2).
3
4 Now it's decided it wants to downgrade all of them to 3.0.13
5 and 1.9.0.13.
6
7 Looking at the package database page, I see that firefox
8 3.5.2-r1 is marked as unstable (~x86). Same for xulrunner
9 1.3.1.2-r1. That explains why emerge wants to downgrade to the
10 stable version: I don't have ~x86 unmasked for
11 firefox/xulrunner and never have had.
12
13 What I don't understand is why they got upgraded last week.
14
15 Were firefox 3.5.2 and xulrunner 1.9.1.2 marked as stable last
16 week and then changed back to unstable this week?
