Now you really need to use REPLACING_VERSIONS to do it cleanly, but that's only in EAPI 4, which still isn't implemented in Portage. As a hack, you can instead do the has_version check in pkg_preinst and use environment variable saving to get the result in pkg_postinst. It is not exactly pretty. -- Ciaran McCreesh
