Looks to me this is not an upgrade, but a second install of this package, |
19 |
in addition to the existing one. The 'NS' says this package is new, and |
20 |
slotted, if it were an upgrade only, the 'S' would be an 'U'. Add the -t |
21 |
(or --tree) option to emerge, this can tell you what package pulls in the |
22 |
new version. |
23 |
|
24 |
You can mask the new version by putting |
25 |
>=sys-devel/binutils-apple-4.2 |
26 |
into /etc/portage/package.mask. But I don't think this would be necessary. |

I'd expect the maintainer of Pango to add an ebuild for this version. If |
37 |
version 1.29.5 is very new, maybe you have to wait a little for that to |
38 |
happen. |

Oh, you should definitely install app-portage/eix, if you don't have |
61 |
already. emerge eix, then use eix-update to index your portage tree, and |
62 |
use eix instead of emerge --search. |
