Hi,
I installed mozilla 1.1. emerge didn't recognized its ebuild file as an update, so I installed it without using --update end then unmerged mozilla 1.0-r3 which was the previously installed version.

Now, I get the following:
Code:

coyote net-www # emerge --pretend --update world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order.

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild    U ] sys-libs/ncurses-5.2.20020511-r2 to /
[ebuild    U ] net-www/mozilla-1.0-r3 to /

coyote net-www #


Why is again mozilla-1.0-r3 considered an update to mozilla-1.1???

[/code]

Because 1.1 is masked in /usr/portage/profiles/packages.mask as not being ready for general use, so Portage pretends that it doesn't exist, and 1.0-r3 is the latest unmasked version.
