Is it OK to stabilize =app-portage/epm-1.40 ? If so, please CC all arches which have stable keywords for older versions of this package and add STABLEREQ keyword to the bug.
Sorry for the long silence. I found a stupid new bug in epm-1.40 (with -qf), so it should not be stabilized. I am trying to fix that.
So no. We will try a different version later
