Hi All,

There seems to me to be a bit of an issue when a slotted package ebuild is
bumped and the the existing ebuild is removed (which is quite often the case
with security bumps). The problem is that paludis won't bump that package as
part of -i world (or universe), potentially leaving your system with known
security issue.

I've been working around by it by running paludis -r and re-installing
packages that are have the error "No longer exists in original repositories
'gentoo'" which will perform the bump.  The most recent package that I've
noticed with this issue is dev-java/sun-jdk:1.5.

I *think* it's only an issue with slotted packages,  I couldn't find a bug
report, and google was no help either.

Is this is a bug? or perhaps there's a non-obvious command line option that
I need to use to get these packages bumped automatically?

Cheers,

Scott
