hi !

afaik, that's not the name of the game, because:
generic example:
--package foo is up-to-date
--package bar gets updated
--foo depends on bar
if package foo needs e.g libs from package bar and bar
gets updated, foo is up-to-date only formally, i.e. the ebuild and
the sources are, but foo has to be recompiled
against the libs from bar nevertheless.

[gentoo-dev] Whoops..

[Thomas Landmann]

I just did an rc5 built on my laptop here, and emerged
kdebase-2.1.1-r1.ebuild and ended up with kde-env-2.2.ebuild emerged as a
dependency...

Hi,

Thanks for the report. I've fixed this on cvs. Please unmerge kde-env-2.2, 
emerge rsync, and emerge kdebase again. Sorry for the inconvinience.
