2.1.6.13 was the latest when ... - thats as kindly as I can think of the
person and his reasons for putting me through a lot of work as I didnt
notice the downgrade on one system in time. If it was for security or
other reasons I could understand it, and maybe not agree with it ... but
just because he wanted some extra testing he decided to "play" with
users systems! I agree with you that portage is usually bug free and
trustworthy ... but the trust aspect has been sorely tried.
On this system, I just left portage at what seemed to be a working
version to avoid the problems caused by the downgrade. This was a few
weeks ago now, so they have probably been sorted, but I think it might
be better to upgrade and find another stable, working version.
