I recently installed KDE 3.2.2 and every time I type "emerge -up world" I am
informed that the kde packages would be downgraded to 3.2.1.

Having dug around I turned up some information on
the /etc/portage/package.unmask file which I thought would solve the
problem however I still get informed that kde would be downgraded.

Here is my /etc/portage/package.unmask file:

=kde-base/arts-1.2.2
=kde-base/kdelibs-3.2.2
=kde-base/kdebase-3.2.2
=kde-base/kdenetwork-3.2.2
=kde-base/kdepim-3.2.2
=kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.2.2-r1
=kde-base/kdeaddons-3.2.2
=kde-base/kdegraphics-3.2.2
=kde-base/kdeaccessibility-3.2.2
=kde-base/kdeedu-3.2.2
=kde-base/kdetoys-3.2.2
=kde-base/kdeartwork-3.2.2
=kde-base/kdeadmin-3.2.2
=kde-base/kdeutils-3.2.2
=kde-base/kdegames-3.2.2
=kde-base/kde-3.2.2

Please help

it's not right place to search, since kde isn't masked, it's just in
unstable version. to avoid downgrading you should put something like:

kde-base/arts ~x86

(and the same for the whole rest) in /etc/portage/package.keywords.
it'll inform portage, that you want those packages in unstable version

pozdr. aye
