"Upgraded" media-libs/freetype-1.3.1-r4 does not upgrade anything. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1 # emerge sync

2. # emerge -uDpv world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild     U ] media-libs/freetype-1.3.1-r4 [1.3.1-r3] +nls -tetex  0 kB

3. # emerge -uav freetype

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!

Total size of downloads: 0 kB

Nothing to merge; do you want me to auto-clean packages? [Yes/No]


Actual Results:  
Nothing emerged.

Expected Results:  
Working emerge of upgraded package. If you have nothing to upgrade, why is there
a new ebuild in the portage at all?

It suddenly works after emerging  app-shells/bash-3.0-r7, sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.4 and sys-apps/sysvinit-2.85-r1. Not sure what was the cause. *confused*
