A Block appears on the ebuild upgrade of phpmyadmin-2.5.7_p1 which seems strange to me that I should have to unmerge a package to get a later one and lose my config in the process. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge -up phpmyadmin 2. 3. Actual Results: server ~ # emerge -up phpmyadmin These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

I just unmerged Xfree b/c I don't use it anymore.

the block is need, not to mess up and mix up webapp.eclass ebuilds from old ebuilds. unemerge the old one, then install the new one. upgrading webapp.eclass ebuilds is supported and possible
