For past couple of weeks as I was doing emerge --sync and emerge

Does anybody know what might trigger this behavior?
There's a portage bug that fits that description:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13632. When I encounter this I
simply package mask the lower versions.
mkdir /etc/portage
echo "<gnome-extra/libgsf-1.12.0" >> /etc/portage/package.mask
That is not the correct way as this bug is caused by packages not
functioning correctly with *newer* versions. In this case gnumeric
doesn't like libgsf versions above 1.10.
If you think gnumeric does work well with the newest version of libgsf
and that the package maintainer is setting wrongly the dependency
version, please file a bug.
Okay, my mistake. Actually, now that you mention it, it turns out that I edited the ebuild
myself to have RDEPEND=">=gnome-extra/libgsf-1.10" in my overlay. I'm not sure
whether or not it causes negative consequences but since I rarely (if ever) use gnumeric,
I'm not presently concerned ;-).
