Hmm, ignoring the block - need to look at the docs once again...

Yes, just found out that I was drawing the wrong conclusions out of
uninstalling mktemp and then seeing coreutils installation fail. Of course,
coreutils installation fails because of this lzma compression which my
installed alpha7 is not capable of.
BTW: Wouldn't it make sense to add a feature to paludis that it always puts
itself on the top of the to-be-updated list (unless the update of paludis
itself would require explizit versions of other packages to be installed
first, of course)?
Bye...
