Maybe also use the -i option on the old version so portage thinks it's installed.

Thats what I ended up doing as I already had "=x11-wm/openbox-2.3.0" in
the world file and it didn't do me any good. So I used emerge -i on the
old version after doing an rsync following installing the newer version.
I also uninstalled gkrellm2 and similarly used the -i switch for
that.(as I perfer the earlier version in that case)


I just find it odd that more than once now I've tried to anchor
something in the world file and it doesn't seem to work. Tho it does
seem to leave alone experimental/new packages for which there is no
unmasked version at all. With the openbox issue it gets weird tho
because other than doc files when watching the install the binary et al
goes to same directories implying it's overwriting any other files by
same name. So even if you do have both versions in only the 2 sets of
doc files would be seperated and whatever version you installed last
that would be the one with the current binary by that name in there.
