[gentoo-user] why portage downgrade?

[covici]

I currently am using unstable gentoo and have 2.2.0_alpha1.  Now if I
obey instructions, portage will be downgraded to 2.1.9.24.  I really
prefer the 2.2 series unless something has gone very wrong, why is this
happening and how can I prevent this?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

This is covered in the ChangeLog and has already been discussed on this
list.

Apparently, though unproven, at 14:30 on Wednesday 17 November 2010, 
covici@ccs.covici.com did opine thusly:
