Upgrade/downgrade doesn't preserve catalog registration, OTOH rebuild of the same version works fine. Reason is: The order of execution of pre/post_rm and pkg_postinst differs on upgrade from remerge. May be it's bug in ebuild(8) or some misconception in contemporary ebuilds of app-text/sgml-common. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Upgrade or downgrade app-text/sgml-common Actual Results: /usr/share/sgml/sgml-iso-entities-8879.1986/catalog is unregistered from /etc/sgml/catalog Expected Results: sgml-iso-entities catalog should keep beeing registered in system-wide catalog

PMS now guarentees that pkg_postinst and pkg_postrm will be run in the correct order for upgrades. http://dev.gentoo.org/~ulm/pms/4/pms.html#x1-11300010.2
