Hello Gents,

I just merged xfree. I decide to update my system packages using the emerge tools. Now, all of a sudden, emerge says I have to downgrade 22 system packages. I'm sorry I can't post the emerge feedback as I'm still using the bash console. The question is should I go ahead and downgrade? So, really, what's the point of downgrading after using the latest versions for a while? It's just silly, or maybe I'm being short sighted.

did you by any chance do:

Code:
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -u xfree
?

If so that would have upgraded a lot of packages to the unstable branch ~x86 and a normal emerge without the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS will want to bring them all back down to stable.
