I just recently updated portage a few hours ago, and unless I add ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" to an emerge statement, it tries to downgrade gtk+ to 2.6.10 instead of keep the version at 2.8.8. //ACCEPT_KEYWORDS Example (success): sprsd ~ # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -a gtk+ These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

You seem to have trouble deciding what to do or how to configure portage. The behaviour your system is demonstrating appears to be quite normal.
man portage /package.keywords
do you have gtk+-2.8.8 in /etc/portage/package.keywords? Otherwise 2.6.10-r1 IS the latest stable on x86..and that is the version portage will use.
Sorry to include that. Yes, it's in package.keywords... gcooper@sprsd ~ $ grep gtk+ /etc/portage/package.keywords x11-libs/gtk+ ~x86
Another interesting thing to note. This maybe didn't start occurring prior to my accidentally hosing my /etc/portage/package.* files, and I 'rebuilt' them in a proper order but the order still does differ from what it was originally. Maybe there's any issue with the overall way that emerge evaluates which package to emerge?
Post emerge --info and attach all /etc/portage/package.* files here.
Reopen then.
Including output from package.use is moot and only clouds the issue, but I just wanted to note that it does exist. gcooper@sprsd ~ $ emerge info Portage 2.0.51.22-r3 (default-linux/x86/2005.1, gcc-4.0.2, glibc-2.3.6-r1, 2.6.14-nitro2 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.14-nitro2 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.20 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O3 -mtune=pentium4 -mmmx -msse -msse2 -mfpmath=sse,387 -momit-leaf-frame-pointer -ftracer -fforce-addr -funroll-loops -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -mtune=pentium4 -mmmx -msse -msse2 -mfpmath=sse,387 -momit-leaf-frame-pointer -ftracer -fforce-addr -funroll-loops -pipe -fvisibility-inlines-hidden" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" LINGUAS="en_US ja_JP" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/lcl/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X aac alsa apm audiofile avi bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdr cjk crypt cups curl dvdr emboss encode exif expat flac fortran gdbm gif glut gmp gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 imagemagick imlib ipv6 java jpeg lcms libwww mmx mmxext mng mozilla mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl nsplugin nvidia ogg oggvorbis openal opengl oss pam pcre pdflib perl png python quicktime readline samba sdl slang spell sse sse2 ssl tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode vorbis xml2 xmms xv xvid zlib linguas_en_US linguas_ja_JP userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS gcooper@sprsd ~ $ ls -1 /etc/portage/* /etc/portage/package.keywords /etc/portage/package.mask /etc/portage/package.unmask /etc/portage/package.use gcooper@sprsd ~ $ cat /etc/portage/package.keywords dev-libs/mpfr ~x86 media-sound/alsa-tools ~x86 dev-java/sun-jre-bin ~x86 mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird ~x86 www-client/mozilla-firefox ~x86 media-video/nvidia-kernel ~x86 media-video/nvidia-glx ~x86 app-admin/eselect-opengl ~x86 app-admin/eselect ~x86 net-p2p/azureus ~x86 sys-devel/gcc -* sys-libs/glibc -* dev-libs/gmp ~x86 sys-libs/timezone-data ~x86 x11-libs/gtk+ ~x86 dev-libs/glib ~x86 x11-libs/cairo ~x86 x11-libs/pango ~x86 x11-misc/transset ~x86 x11-misc/transset-df ~x86 dev-java/swt ~x86 gcooper@sprsd ~ $ cat /etc/portage/package.mask >sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6.12.5 >www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.5 =mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-1.5_rc3 >dev-libs/mpfr-2.2.0_p4 >media-sound/alsa-tools-1.0.10 >dev-java/sun-jre-bin-1.5.1 #nvidia >media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.8174 >media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.8174 >app-admin/eselect-opengl-1.0.3 >app-admin/eselect-1.0_rc1 >net-p2p/azureus-2.3.0.6 #gcc/glibc junk >sys-libs/glibc-2.3.6-r1 >dev-libs/gmp-4.1.4-r2 >sys-libs/timezone-data-2005o >=sys-devel/gcc-4.0.3 >x11-libs/gtk+-2.8.8 >dev-libs/glib-2.8.4 >x11-libs/cairo-1.0.2 >x11-libs/pango-1.10.1 >x11-misc/transset-0.1_pre20040821 >x11-misc/transset-df-4 >dev-java/swt-3.2_pre1 gcooper@sprsd ~ $ cat /etc/portage/package.unmask gcooper@sprsd ~ $

My bad. It appears to be a problem with -D. I think I need to do some searching and determine what package is trying to pull in 2.6.10-r1 as opposed to 2.8.8. sprsd gcooper # emerge -ua world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done!

The point here being you want gtk+ to be ~x86 and the config doesn't reflect this. Lines in keywords don't stack, you should only have 1 line per package. I notice in your package.keywords you have 2 lines affecting x11-libs/gtk+, one for the package, and one keywording specific versions ( >2.8.8 ). A quick journey through the code shows that the second line will overwrite the first. Thus you end up with >x11-libs/gtk+-2.8.8 ~x86 which will not unmask 2.8.8 for you, which is why this is failing.
Nope, it's bug 13632.
Ok, that's what I thought was going on possibly, but I wasn't particularly sure and I didn't think to search for that bug.
