This is normal; you're asking for updates ("-u"), so Portage is offering you the available update you asked for. Why is this a problem? Are you running a different kernel? Not suspend2-sources, but something else and you simply don't want suspend2-sources present on your system anymore, or is there an issue with the specific version of suspend2-sources that's being offered, so the issue is that you don't want to upgrade? If the former (you used to use suspend2-sources, but you switched to another kernel variant like gentoo-sources or ck-sources, and you don't want to upgrade suspend2-sources anymore), the solution is to emerge -C (unmerge) the version of suspend2-sources you had installed (delete the source in /usr/src before unmerging to speed up the process). Then it won't be "updatable", because it's no longer present (but since the source of the kernel variant you are using is still present, that will continue to be upgraded).. If the latter (you are still using suspend2-sources, but you don't want to upgrade it beyond a certain version), the solution is to mask the versions beyond what you want manually, using /etc/portage/package.mask: (not with quotes) "> =sys-kernel/suspend2-sources-2.6.15-r7" (since you're using -r6 and attempting to upgrade to -r8, this will mask everything including to and above the version beyond the one you're using). The downside of this is that you have to keep an eye on the package to see if the problem has been solved in order to get any further updates, as Portage will no longer tell you or offer you updates to this package.
