Today I noticed that emerge adds a colon together with an integer to the 
version of every package it wants to update, e.g. it says

[ebuild     U ~] kde-base/kmail-4.9.3:4 [4.9.2:4] USE="handbook kontact (-
aqua) -debug {-test}" 0 kB

I never noticed the trailing ":4"  before and I have no idea what it means. I 
searched the gentoo website  but haven't been able to find anything about it. 
Does anyone what it is about?

Cheers :-)
