The usual problem is that the version it is complaining about is really
installed.  Because of slots and other peculiarities, there can be
multiple versions installed that may not show on some utilties when you
check.  Use equery l packagename, and qpkg -v packagename to check.
Note that on older, crufty systems I often have problems digging out the
version thats being complained about.

Easiest fix is just run "glsa-check -f [glsa number]" in most cases

Does it ever get it wrong? - not so far on my systems that I have
noticed.
