bug in the protected list after an update

[PyrosFR]

I've got some strange issue with my gentoo 1.4 rc1 (unstable packages).

Apparently the protected list is not updated correcty.
Since the 1.4, by default the emerge do a clean immediatly after the emerge. in fact, what append is the emerge update the package and the clean process just remove it immediatly since that's still the old version wich is the protected one.

By exemple :
emerge -p clean

>>> These are the packages that I would unmerge:

sys-apps/man-pages
selected: 1.54
protected: 1.43-r1 1.52
omitted: none

net-www/netscape-flash
selected: 6.0.69-r2
protected: 6.0.69-r1
omitted: none

media-libs/libsdl
selected: 1.2.5
protected: 1.2.4.20020601
omitted: none

dev-libs/openssl
selected: 0.9.6h
protected: 0.9.6c-r1 0.9.6g-r1
omitted: none

as you can see, it should remove the new version installed, included the new binaries.... You can imagine that a simple emerge -u rsync juste update and then delete the binaries of the new version, wich have just replaced the old one. So i don't get any /usr/bin/rsync any more...
I know a simple emerge net-misc/rsync bring it back to me.
I've seen that issue just after the system remove python and wxPython.
I had to get the sources from the .tgz since i've lost the emerge utilitie...

I've tried to emerge the rescue package with no result....

Actually i just remove the auto-clean process at the end of the emrge. But i'd like to fix that definitively.
