When I want to update 'world', emerge wanted to first UPGRADE transcode to version 0.6.12-r2 and then DOWNGRADE it to version 0.6.11. I have an entry in /etc/portage/package.keywords for 'transcode', hence the first attempt to emerge 0.6.12-r2 (~x86). k3b (with use flag encode) requires transcode 0.6.11 or lower, hence the attempt to emerge the second version. Emerge should calculate dependencies, and ONLY try and merge transcode 0.6.11. Not first upgrade and then downgrade back again! The second was the stable version, which is required by k3b. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. echo 'media-video/transcode' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords 2. emerge -C k3b transcode 3. Add transcode and k3b to your world file. 4. emerge -uDpv world Actual Results: root:/home/gautam>emerge -uDpv world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done!
