Description:   Opened: 2003-08-07 10:48 0000 
When portage wants to install a package in a different SLOT than the installed
one it shows this as an upgrade. While this is right it is confusing people as
there is no indication that the other version will not be deleted.

Example:
gtk2 is installed and I want to install a app that need gtk1, portage prints:

[ebuild     U ] x11-libs/gtk+-1.2.10-r9 [2.2.1]

better aproach would be to use another letter for SLOT upgrades, so it would
look like:

[ebuild     S ] x11-libs/gtk+-1.2.10-r9 [2.2.1]

imo thats just as bad ... you should show the latest version of the SLOT rather 
than the pkg ...
