Description inactive 2020-02-20 11:22:22 UTC
x11-apps/xinit/xinit-1.4.1.ebuild
is trying to detect whether the just xinit was updated from a version prior to 1.4.1
by making this check:
if has_version "<${CATEGORY}/${PN}-1.4.1"; then
inside the function pkg_postinst() {
but this will not work because at pkg_postinst() time, the current version is the just merged one: 1.4.1

The check should probably be moved into a pkg_preinst() just like it is for 
www-client/surfraw/surfraw-2.3.0-r2.ebuild

I'm not sure what other packages are suffering from this same issue. But I'd recommend someone who's good at regexps(or something) find them, maybe? well, if you want.

Even better if it used ver_test against $REPLACING_VERSIONS
