portage correctly downgrades when installing sphinx but after the fact an emerge -uDN @world can update docutils back to 0.18 and thus brakin any merge ops that include sphinx.

Reproducible: Always

2. build any application requiring sphinx or just run /usr/bin/sphinx-build --version
3. rip sphinx
Actual Results:

A world upgrade should _not_ allow docutils to be upgraded because Sphinx should depend on an older version.

We need more informatino, I think.

I did not check the ebuild to see if there was a restriction prior to filing. As this is likely a local issue, I will close in favor of realtime support options. Appologies around.
