I have both the "bittorrent" and "gnome-btdownload" packages installed on my system. It has happily let me upgrade bittorrent from 3.4.x to 4.4.0, but then if I rebuild gnome-btdownload, it wants to downgrade bittorrent again: $ emerge -p gnome-btdownload These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild NS ] dev-python/wxpython-2.4.2.4-r3 [ebuild UD] net-p2p/bittorrent-3.4.2-r2 [4.4.0] [ebuild R ] net-p2p/gnome-btdownload-0.0.11 Looking at the upstream bug tracking system, there doesn't appear to be any active work on support for newer versions of bittorrent: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1189957&group_id=93129&atid=603214 (That was filed about 18 months ago about bt 4.0.1, and has had no response since it was acknowledged a month later.) And the last forum post, a year ago, doesn't suggest the project is active: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1376291&forum_id=321933
Not a gnome maintained package.
it's been package masked until upstream can get with the program
