In this case, there is an update available for wxGTK, so portage upgrades it. Unfortunately, there is some program installed that requires on a version of wxGTK <=2.4.0, so portage downgrades it to not break the other program. I consider this behavior a portage bug, but as far as I know, there is currently no easy way to prevent this from happening. -- Andrew Gaffney -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
