I get the downgrades you would expect:



 UD ] virtual/udev-171 [196]
UD ] sys-fs/udev-171-r9

I also get some weird companion downgrades:

blocks B      ] >x11-libs/qt-script-4.8.2-r9999:4
(">x11-libs/qt-script-4.8.2-r9999:4" is blocking x11-libs/qt-declarative-4.8.2,

x11-libs/qt-opengl-4.8.2)
[blocks B      ] <x11-libs/qt-gui-4.8.4:4

and these:

Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

Does this look normal?
