After upgrading to Gnome 2.4.2, I noticed that the version number and build date in the About box were still for 2.4.1. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade to Gnome 2.4.2 2. Right-click a blank area on a panel 3. Select "About GNOME" Actual Results: Version number was still 2.4.1, build date was the date in January that I built Gnome 2.4.1. Expected Results: Version should've been updated to 2.4.2, build date should've been updated to the more recent date that I built Gnome 2.4.2 on. For some reason, the gnome-2.4.1 metapackage didn't get autocleaned until the next time I emerged a (unrelated) package. I'm not sure if it was autocleaned at the end of the gnome-2.4.2 emerge, but in any case it showed up as being autocleaned, possibly again, at a later time. I'm not sure if this is related, and in any case the version number problem still didn't clear up.
