I just did an "emerge --sync", and checked what was available for
updateing...

[m3000][root][~] emerge --ask --deep --update --world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating world dependencies... done!
[ebuild U ] sys-devel/gnuconfig-20070724 [20070118]
[ebuild U ] dev-libs/libassuan-1.0.2-r1 [0.6.10]

[ebuild U ] app-crypt/gnupg-2.0.7 [1.4.7-r1] USE="-doc% -openct% -pcsc-lite%"
[blocks B ] <=app-crypt/gnupg-2.0.1 (is blocking app-crypt/gnupg-2.0.7)

I do *NOT* have *ANY* packages masked in /etc/portage/package.mask
Anyhow, I manually unmerged gnupg (would you believe version 1.4.7-r1 ?),
and asked for an update again...

[m3000][root][~] emerge --ask --deep --update --world

These are the packages that would be fetched, in order:

Curious minds want to know...

- why didn't portage replace the old version itself? That's generally
part of the update process.

- once I manually unmerged gnupg, what brings it back? I did *NOT*
use revdep-rebuild.

- what's with the additional flags for 2.0.7 compared to what 2.0.7
had the previous time I tried?
