when emerging a package with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS0"~x86" and then emerge -u world, portage uninstalls the new packages. Since I've installed many packages with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS0"~x86" due to problems in Maxima, I can't use emerge -u world anymore. It would deinstall gcc for example. Can you update portage with an option to update only newer versions?
