If I try to update any package from kdepim to version 3.4.2 while I already have arts 3.4.2 and kdelibs 3.4.2 installed ebuild tries to downgrade arts and kdelibs to 3.4.1. Like this: # emerge -auvD akregator These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

It should not downgrade.
