Why is that? > i think that they have some direct maximum dependency on portage or on some package that has it. try to see which packages trigger this and go up the tree until you find the packge that triggers portage. if you use the -vp option you should find the package that triggers the downgrade. follow its dependencies and see if one of it has a <= dep on portage.
