[Apologies if this amounts to hijacking the thread...]
The other day portage wanted to upgrade quite a number of packages: some from
source and some from Gentoo binpkgs. Rather than laboriously picking out just
the binpkgs by hand, I told portage to upgrade -K. It wanted to update 246
packages!
It seems that, if a more recent package exists, it will be remerged willy-
nilly, whether it's a real upgrade or not.
I hope portage isn't meant to work this way...
