[gentoo-dev] emerge -u program

My glibc and gcc aren't in stable release yet but when I went to upgrade a 
program it wanted to downgrade these.  I can understand this behaviour when 
using emerge -u world but it doesn't make sence IMHO for a specific program.  
Not sure I can call it a bug, but it seems strange behaviour.

You have to think in the -u flag as the way to obtain the last stable
version, forgeting everything all. 
Just use -U (as you know) to do an upgrade.

You might want to use -U; it's the upgrade-only flag.

I know how to solve the problem, but it isn't my point.  My question is should 
emerge -u someprogram be allowed to down grade other programs in the process 
unless DEPEND < current_installed_versions are actually specificed in the 
ebuild.  No problem with world behaviour, there I believe it does the correct 
thing.

I definately do  not want to sound short or anything, but take a look at
the thread
[gentoo-dev] another snag:  emerge -Up --deep gtkhtml
It takes up the same thing I think.... And I believe the final word has
been said there.
