Comment 2 Gregorio Guidi (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-01-11 03:38:08 UTC 
I think that's related to kernel packages having different SLOT, if you install an already installed package that has a new SLOT it is not seen as an upgrade. Feature or bug? A feature IMHO.
Comment 3 Marius Mauch (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-01-11 08:51:41 UTC 
Gregorio is right (personally I'd like an S there).
