portage is doing what the ebuilds and make.conf tell it to do. |
32 |
|
33 |
For some reason xfce-power-manager-1.3.1 does not satisfy what the local |
34 |
install needs but 1.3.0 does. So portage wants to make it so. |
35 |
|
36 |
Downgrades are not common, but neither are they unusual. It's not a |
37 |
feature either, it's a necessaity that portage be able to do this. |
