for several days now, portage continually wants to downgrade my existing gtkdiskfree-1.9.3 package to rel. 1.8.4. I took a look in ChangeLog, but found no comment, that caused the downgrade. To verify my installed rel. I fired a 'equery list gtkdiskfree' and got this error: Searching for package 'gtkdiskfree' in all categories among: * installed packages !!! aux_get(): ebuild path for 'app-admin/gtkdiskfree-1.9.3' not specified: !!! None !!! Internal portage error, terminating !!! "'app-admin/gtkdiskfree-1.9.3' at None" A look in /usr/portage/app-admin/gtkdiskfree shows me, that there is only an ebuild for the 1.8.4 release. But where has the ebuild for 1.9.3 gone, and why has it gone? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. you must have gtkdiskfree-1.9.3 already installed 2. emerge -uvD world 3. Actual Results: portage want's to downgrade gtkdiskfree from installed rel. 1.9.3 to rel. 1.8.4. Expected Results: don't know :) if there's a problem with rel. 1.9.3 (although I haven't found any problems yet during using it) then this behavior will be ok, but then it should be commented in the ChangeLog. if there's no problem then portage should leave the installed release alone. But portage doesn't actually know of a rel. 1.9.3 because it only has an ebuild for rel. 1.8.4. So where has the other ebuild gone?

Version 1.9.3 was removed, for some reason, from the portage tree... see the changelog: http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/app-admin/gtkdiskfree/ChangeLog
Mike - was there a reason for this?
well, that's what I wrote. But why has it removed? The ChangeLog only contains an entry -gtkdiskfree-1.9.3 but without any reason. Also isn't it an error to remove the ebuild before anybody has the chance to actually update? At least portage says, it has encountered an internal error as you can see from my first post.
hmm i think i deleted that by accident, i'll check it out
restored 1.9.3 and deleted 1.8.4 like i meant to, sorry about that
