I just set up package.keywords to accept the unstable version (whatever this means in the case of this package) and version 27.0.0.183 was emerged successfully (I previously unmerged the formerly installed package). Still, there's something wrong with portage/eix/something: $ eix adobe-flash [?] www-plugins/adobe-flash Available versions: (22) 25.0.0.148^ms {+nsplugin +ppapi ABI_MIPS="n32 n64 o32" ABI_PPC="32 64" ABI_S390="32 64" ABI_X86="32 64 x32"} Installed versions: 27.0.0.183(22)^ms(07:50:22 PM 10/27/2017)(nsplugin ppapi ABI_MIPS="-n32 -n64 -o32" ABI_PPC="-32 -64" ABI_S390="-32 -64" ABI_X86="64 -32 -x32") Homepage: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer.html http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player.html Description: Adobe Flash Player 25.0.0.148 ? And it wanted to install 25.0.0.170? Thanks Jorge Almeida
