When updating just use emerge with "--upgradeonly" option or "-U" for short. Then it won't downgrade. > I have the same problem with apache (but the other way around) as I want to > keep apache1 but emerge insists on upgrading to 2. > > How can get around this? This is a little bit different. You can first "inject" the newer package with "emerge -i <package>" or "emerge inject <package>". After that portage will think that this package is already installed and you can safely install the older one. Check 'man emerge' for details. Hope it helps.
