Someone screwed up. Our x86 arch lead is going to hit them with a lead pipe. You shouldn't encounter forced downgrades in stable unless something really icky happens. You shouldn't encounter forced downgrades in ~arch unless someone commits a version that works for them and it later turns out that it's seriously broken (eg bash-3.1). -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (I can kill you with my brain) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
