7 Not exactly. I'm finding that emerge -K installs every package whose binpkg
8 exists, regardless of whether it's installed in the system already. Emerge -k
9 doesn't. Neither of them takes any notice of what packages are installed in
10 the system, and I think they should.

12 Well, that's not quite true. Emerge -k does only reinstall what's already
13 there, but its checking for USE flag mismatch seems to be done regardless of
14 that pre-existence.
