the other day i ran this:

  # emerge --pretend --update --deep world

and got (among other things) this:

  [ebuild     UD] media-video/avifile-0.7.37.20030522-r2 [0.7.38.20030710]

"no problem" i thought.  "maybe since i'm using ~x86 this just needs to be 
downgraded 'cause it wasn't ready.  so i ran this:

  # emerge --update --deep world

and after compilation, i ran this again:

  # emerge --pretend --update --deep world

and got this:

  [ebuild     U ] media-video/avifile-0.7.38.20030710 [0.7.37.20030522-r2]

"how can this be?" i thought.  so i tried qpkg:

(~) # qpkg -I -q avifile
media-video/avifile-0.7.37.20030522-r2 *
DEPENDED ON BY:
        media-video/transcode-0.6.9

so here's my question:  if there's only one package depending on avifile, why 
can't it make up it's mind?  i took a look at the ebuild, and it only seems 
to call avifile once, so i'm at a loss here.
