Alan,

Thank you for your help.  Based on your suggestion, I confirmed the
reason for the nvidia-cuda-sdk downgrade is that my package.keywords
suddenly no longer applies.

These are questions that still linger in my head:

Why does the atom "~dev-util/nvidia-cuda-sdk-4.2" NOT apply to
"dev-util/nvidia-cuda-sdk-4.2.9-r2"?

Why does the atom "~dev-util/nvidia-cuda-toolkit-4.2" INDEED apply to
"dev-util/nvidia-cuda-toolkit/4.2.9-r2" (see below)?

Thanks again,

Chris
