The folks who maintain the portage servers will at times remove old
versions of programs, for instance the ati-drivers package. In that
past I did a blind update and got a new ati-drivers package but
unfortunately it didn't support the ATI 9100 IGP chipset and the
machine broke.

Hope this explains my comment.

Cheers,
Mark
