The ebuild for octave-forge-2006.03.17, which is the most recent at least on
amd64, hard depends on octave-2.1.72. However, with gcc 4.1 octave-forge only
compiles with version 2.1.73 of octave (see
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133246).
I needed to emerge --nodeps octave-forge to bypass this depend, and now every
deep world update wants to downgrade octave.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for pointing this out and it should now be fixed in portage cvs.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Best,
Markus
