Description foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-02-19 17:11:50 UTC
I see a lot of questions on IRC and forums (possibly bugs, altough i don't get
them) about portage mentioning it will downgrade something when it is actually
installing something new in a lower slot. See bug #13729 for the relevant
bugreport about this, i thought it might be worth mentioning as long as this
issue is open.

I would mention it, but how close is it to being fixed?
Comment 2 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-02-22 07:46:46 UTC
fixed in cvs...
kinda anyway. It's smarter, but not that smart.
