Don't understand downgrade to kernel-3.2.16
 

Setup:

Running a basic-ish setup with no X configured.

This is gentoo running as virtual guest on win7 using Virtual Box.

Today I ran eix-sync followed by emerge -vuDp world.

One thing in the output puzzles me:

[ebuild NS ] sys-kernel-sources-3.2.16 [3.2.6, 3.3.4] [...]

What would cause something like this, when I'm booting 3.3.4?

I do have this in /etc/portage/package

>=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.3.5

In case you would need to know what else came up, the full ouput looks
like:

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

I'd say you still have a slotted package of gentoo-sources-3.2.*
installed. So portage will upgrade gentoo-sources-3.2.* and
gentoo-sources-3.3.*

Check with emerge -p --prune gentoo-sources

Thanks... yes, that was what was happening.

Sorry about the line noise for something so basic

No problem, same thing happend to me a few weeks ago. I did not pay
attention, installed and compiled a "new" 3.3 kernel while running a 3.4
kernel. When I rebooted the next day and saw that it was booting a 3.3
series kernel I was like "whut? wait, what now?" :)

What I had installed was 3.2.6... so why would emerge want to install
something older? (3.2.16) I don't get that.

But anyway I let the prune command run, removing 3.2.6 I then
manually removed /lib/modules/3.2.6 and what was left of /usr/src/linux-3.2.6

eix now shows that 3.3.4 is the only kernel installed,

eix -Ic gentoo-sources

But still the last line of output from: emerge -vuDp world:

,----
| [ebuild NS ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.2.16 [3.3.4] USE="-build
| -deblob -symlink" 322 kB
`----

I guess I'm still a bit confused.

Egad... I think I see now.... when I looked at my last post is
suddenly dawned that 16 comes after 6 hehe. I was seeing 16 and
thinking 1.6 I guess.
