Well...I don't think this is intended behaviour because I've been using xeffects overlay for months and I would have noticed it in the past if it was the normal behaviour of emerge... However, if it is not an emerge bug, why not turning my bug in a feature request/enhancement then? I cannot understand why emerge shouldn't update such packages...

The repositories listed in PORTDIR_OVERLAY override the PORTDIR repository. This is the intended behavior for overlays. We can add support for additional repositories that do not override eachother in this way, but that would be a new type of multi-repository support.

Zac: I don't think this is about repo ordering but to perform visibility filtering before "removing" the overlaid ebuilds, e.g. in this case use the "visible" ebuild from porttree rather than the "masked" ebuild from the overlay. Of course this particular case could be fixed with repo ordering, but then the same issue could pop up the other way ("masked" porttree ebuild, "visible" overlay ebuild). Personally I consider this INVALID as it's the way overlays are supposed to work, so changed the summary and severity. I don't think this is something we should pursue however as it would change overlay semantics and very likely cause technical problems in the dbapi and/or resolver code, but leaving open for others to comment.

There are no overlays involved in my specific case. Sure, I have the MPD overlay from layman, but it shouldn't have anything to do with this.
Apparently ed's not the only package in need of updates but not being mentioned by emerge, libevent isn't listed as well.

facadeofwalls, have you tried adding --with-bdeps=y to the emerge command line options? And do you have ed-0.4.ebuild in '/usr/local/portage/sys-apps/ed/' ?

Then your issue has nothing to do with mine, please see bug 150238 and have a look at portage manpages. Zac, what do you think about the proposed change then?
I've noticed this bug/feature for a while and have a few thoughts on it. Since a package in an overlay can currently be overridden by an ebuild in PORTDIR having a higher version number than the overlaying one, I assumed that an ebuild in PORTDIR would also override a masked one in PORTDIR_OVERLAY with the same version. Basically, since I trust the overlays I use, I usually want the highest versioned and non-masked package installed, regardless of which overlay (or the main tree) it comes from. Based on Marius's comments, it looks more complex than I thought to change (I don't know python). I'm sure there's a benefit to some people with the current overlay behavior, but I'd definitely appreciate a way to allow this, since the most elegant alternative (I can think of) is to individually delete ebuilds from overlays (which gets tedious with every overlay sync).
A possible solution could be adding a new variable similar to PORTDIR_OVERLAY but with the difference that overlays listed inside this new variable don't override the portage tree. In this way ebuilds from the portage tree take precedence over overlays' ones, even when they have the same version numbers.
Davide: Having a "PORTDIR_UNDERLAY" variable wouldn't solve this bug (unless I misunderstood something) since if 2.3.2 was masked in PORTDIR but not masked in the "underlay", it would result in the same outcome of not picking the highest unmasked version from any source. My idea is to add an option to FEATURES that modifies the behavior of PORTDIR_OVERLAY, or have another type of PORTDIR_OVERLAY variable that does visibility filtering. Or, allow both settings to be toggled: the overlay priority compared to the main tree like Davide suggested, and the visibility filtering.

And I didn't think about FEATURES, which is really a good idea IMHO, because we can offer the possibility to change the behaviour of emerge to interested users, without breaking compatibility with present overlays for users who don't care. Joe, your idea is surely better then mine!
As mentioned in comment #8 this would be tricky to implement, and I (and I suspect most others) don't like the change in semantics either.
*** Bug 196857 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
If ebuild from overlay can hide official one from tree, why it just cannot work a way where official ebuild can hide the local one. This way there will be no problems like that, and if you want to install something from local portage you can just copy ebuild as next revision? ebuild-1.0.0-r5 from official tree ~ebuild-1.0.0-r5 from local overlay now: portage wants to merge local ebuild, and only thing you can do is to delete it. should be: portage wants to merge official one, and if you want to merge local one you have to rename ebuild to: ~ebuild-1.0.0-r6. You can do this because it is local file! Isn't it the simple solution?
