After syncing with 134.68.220.97 I discovered that ~20 recent updates had been reverted and portage wanted me to downgrade a good deal. I'm on an ~amd64 system. Some of the missing ebuilds include: xfce 4.6 portage 2.2_rc25 bash 4 nvidia-settings 180.27 etc.. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.
