Having no experience downgrading packages, I'm not certain how to implement the proposal to downgrade ftgl. The approach I tried is the following: I created a /usr/portage/package.mask file containing the line =media-libs/ftgl-2.1.3_rc5 and then did emerge -C ftgl which removed ftgl-2.l.3_rc5. Then I did emerge ftgl expecting to get a lower version. Instead, ftgl-2.l.3_rc5 was emerged again. So, if you'll forgive such a basic question, how should ftgl be downgraded?
