Description Santiago M. Mola (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-06-13 20:26:00 UTC 
"Sample pkg_postinst" and "Common pkg_postinst Tasks" suggest using has_version in pkg_postinst in order to detect upgraded. This does not work anymore with >=portage-2.1.5 since it runs pkg_postinst after the old version have been removed.

This doesn't seem that hard to fix, and is a blocker for portage-2.1.6.1. Do somebody need any help with this?

Juan,

A patch will make this happen a lot quicker.  http://devmanual.gentoo.org/appendices/contributing/
