I just did an "emerge --sync", and checked what was available for
updateing...

[m3000][root][~] emerge --ask --deep --update --world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating world dependencies... done!
[ebuild     U ] sys-devel/gnuconfig-20070724 [20070118]
[ebuild     U ] dev-libs/libassuan-1.0.2-r1 [0.6.10]

[ebuild     U ] x11-apps/xinit-1.0.5-r1 [1.0.4] USE="-hal% -pam%"
[ebuild  N    ] app-crypt/pinentry-0.7.3  USE="ncurses -caps -gtk -qt3"
[ebuild     U ] app-crypt/gnupg-2.0.7 [1.4.7-r1] USE="-doc% -openct% 
-pcsc-lite%"
[blocks B     ] <=app-crypt/gnupg-2.0.1 (is blocking app-crypt/gnupg-2.0.7)

  I do *NOT* have *ANY* packages masked in /etc/portage/package.mask
Anyhow, I manually unmerged gnupg (would you believe version 1.4.7-r1 ?),
and asked for an update again...

[m3000][root][~] emerge --ask --deep --update --world

These are the packages that would be fetched, in order:

[ebuild  N    ] app-crypt/gnupg-2.0.7  USE="bzip2 -doc -ldap -nls -openct

  Curious minds want to know...

  - why didn't portage replace the old version itself?  That's generally
    part of the update process.

  - once I manually unmerged gnupg, what brings it back?  I did *NOT*
    use revdep-rebuild.

  - what's with the additional flags for 2.0.7 compared to what 2.0.7
    had the previous time I tried?
