Yes. Current stable version is 2.5.7-r5, and 2.5.7-r2 does not exist in the main Portage tree any more (though you can get it from the attic).Hmm... Is the reason for the upgrade/downgrade because there's no more 2.5.7-r2 in the ebuilds??
So, since Portage does not know about this ebuild any more, you have to either upgrade or downgrade.
Since you don't want to upgrade to 2.5.7-r5, then you have no choice but to downgrade to 2.5.6-r3. Alternatively, you could mask (without quotes, natch)
>=www-proxy/squid-2.5.7-r5
to leave your current, unsupported, version as it is.
You'd probably have to also mask
"<=www-proxy/squid-2.5.6-r3"
as well. Portage will complain, as it really does not want some unknown ebuild in the tree, but the only way around that would be to
go to the CVS attic (linked in another thread yesterday, or go to www.gentoo.org, find the link on the side that says "Browse online CVS" and go to the attic), find the ebuild for squid-2.5.7-r2, put it in your PORTDIR_OVERLAY directory, then digest and re-install it. Then the build will again be known to Portage, and you only need to mask the builds above it (rather than below it as well.
IMO, this seems a great deal of work to avoid upgrading a couple of -r versions, but it's your box.
