You need to get rid of whatever package is pulling in the downgrade (or upgrade it to a version that is compatible with 4.3.99.2). That's assuming you want the upgrade. Alternatively you can package.mask 4.3.x. --tree should be able to tell you what package(s) is pulling in the downgrade. [1] https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1343 -- Bo Andresen
