The current resolver only considers the best installed slot except when there are explicit slot or version dependencies. This is a known limitation and it has nothing to do with existing ebuilds being removed. The 'security' set uses explicit dependencies to force upgrades of things in older slots where necessary, and paludis --report will tell you if you have older packages with security issues. I'm sort of thinking about adding an everything-with-slots set... Not ideal, but I'd really rather not make too many changes to the current resolver if I can help it. -- Ciaran McCreesh
