   emerge -auDN @world
   ...
   [ebuild     UD ] sys-boot/grub-2.00_p5107-r2 [2.02_beta2-r7] 
USE="-custom-cflags%" GRUB_PLATFORMS="-yeeloong%"


I currently have 2.02_beta2-r7 installed. It's not masked or anything. 
But portage wants to downgrade to 2.00_p5107-r2.

I don't have any clue why that is.

Possibly a bad Manifest entry. rsync has been pretty broken this week.

Hm, indeed. grub-0.97-r16.ebuild was missing from the manifest, but it's 
weird that this would affect 2.02_beta2-r7. It shouldn't, right?

If the manifest fails, all ebuilds in that directory are considered suspect. Is the version portage wants to downgrade to in an overlay?

Nope. Portage-tree only.
