Yes I saw that too, But that wasn't necessary before. So maybe new?
But it also raises another question. The emacs I wanted to keep is an
older version than the newest in portage. So do I enter that version?
That is, will portage just ignore the fact that there is a newer
version. Or does it mean I need to put the newest version number in
/etc/portage/profile/package.provided
even though that isn't what I have?
From Harry Putnam's post:
Portage will not attempt to update a package that is listed here
unless another package explicitly requires a version that is newer
than what has been listed.
In my mind that means just that; as long as someother package doesn't
_need_ a newer version portage will ignore all versions of the
provided package.
