Hello;

I have this line in my /etc/portage/package.keywords:
>=media-libs/libdv-0.104 ~x86

Now, any time I emerge -uD world, if libdv-0.102
is installed, it upgrades to 0.104. But if
libdv-0.104 is installed, it downgrades to 0.102.

So, normally what I do is run emerge -uD world
twice. Once to do all the updates, and then again
to put libdv back to 0.104.

This works, but what is the correct way?

The correct way is, when 0.104 is installed run

emerge -puDvt world

This will tell you which package wants to downgrade libdv. You should
then re-emerge this package (or you may have to mark it ~x86 as well
if the installed one has a specific dependency)
