Description MAL 2003-10-24 03:01:12 UTC 
6 month old system, wants to upgrade gentoo-sources, but marks it as N(ew) in
emerge -puv world.

$ emerge -pP gentoo-sources

>>> These are the packages that I would unmerge:

 sys-kernel/gentoo-sources
    selected: 2.4.20-r5 2.4.20-r6
   protected: 2.4.20-r7
     omitted: none


$ emerge -puv world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
...
[ebuild  N    ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r8  -build +crypt -evms2 -aavm
-usagi -doc -tcltk
...


Just updated to the latest Portage, and it still does it.

Comment 1 Markus Nigbur (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-10-24 06:13:33 UTC 
That's corretct. All kernel version are using a different slot. Earlier we
displayed a slot upgrade as UD, this got changed to N some time ago.
Comment 2 MAL 2003-10-24 06:30:25 UTC 
Apologies for assuming this was a bug.  Where was it announced?
Comment 3 Markus Nigbur (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-10-24 06:54:09 UTC 
apparently those changes are only mentioned in the ChangLog
