- From man emerge:
       --update (-u)
              Updates  packages  to the best version available, which may not 
always be the highest
version number due to masking for testing and development.  This will also 
update direct
dependencies which may not be  what  you  want.   Package  atoms specified  on 
the command line are
greedy, meaning that unspecific atoms may match multiple installed versions of 
slot-ted packages.

You can use --nodeps, too, so you only update the specific package, with no 
deps.
