When I try to install xscreensaver, it seems that some of the latest packages that I have will be replaced by older ones? Or is the following
normal?

Code:

stewpot root # emerge -p xscreensaver
 
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

As far as I can see there is no downgrade, the packages are marked either as N for new or U for upgrade.

BTW, how can I "pin" a ebuild not to upgrade when I do emerge -u --deep world? Emerger is just trying to "upgrade" my apache-2.0.46 to
apache-1.3.27-r3. How can I tell it not to do so?

Code:
# emerge -pU --deep world
>>> --upgradeonly implies --update... adding --update to options.

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

You shouldn't have to --inject an old package, -U should know if it is downgrading.
What is the purpose of -U if you have to --inject ones that will downgrade an installation?
