There seems to be some "weirdness" when I am emerging packages with the latest portage update. Firstly, --upgradeonly seems to be broken as you can see from krb5 below. Addidionally, when I do the 'emerge -uUp php', it thinks php is a new package, but when I do the 'emerge -uUp world', it thinks php needs to be upgraded... $ emerge -Uup php These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

But I wasn't doing --deep, so it may be related, and it may not...
php != mod_php
