Oops... =\

But is this really what one should expect from an update? Shouldn't
emerge just _not_ modify the world file when one gives the -u flag?
Should it be possible at all to add a package to the system through
'emerge -u <package name>'? Shouldn't portage look first to see if the
package is installed and then (if it already is installed) try to
upgrade it? At least that's what I expect from an update. I certainly
don't expect an upgrade to add the package to my world file if I do the
upgrade (without --oneshot) manually.
