I finally figured out why portage keeps fluctuating between upgrading and
downgrading these packages. It seems that every time I upgrade system or
world, it isn't the right version. *sigh*
I added '-t' to my emerge and discovered a package that isn't in my keywords
file.
daevid edb # emerge -Davut world
These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order:
Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[nomerge ] media-plugins/gst-plugins-alsa-0.8.7-r1
[nomerge ] media-libs/gst-plugins-0.8.7 +alsa -debug +esd +oss
[nomerge ] media-plugins/gst-plugins-vorbis-0.8.5
[ebuild UD] media-libs/gst-plugins-0.8.5-r1 [0.8.7] +alsa -debug +esd
+oss 0 kB
Total size of downloads: 0 kB
My /etc/portage/package.keywords contains
media-libs/gstreamer ~x86
media-libs/gst-plugins ~x86
Adding "media-plugins/gst-plugins-vorbis" to the file made it stop being so
obnoxious.
So the real question is, is this a 'bug' or 'feature request' for portage.
It seems it should have warned me somehow that -vorbis- isn't masked, yet
the other packages are.
