I would guess it has something to do with the freeze pending the 1.4 release.

In these intances, I just copy the ebuild+dir over to a local portage area
( copy /usr/portage/app-admin/aide/* to /usr/local/portage/app-admin/aide/* )

Then edit the local aide-0.9.ebuild and chnage the "~x86" or "-x86" to be "x86".

That way it doesn't keep trying to downgrade it I do an emerge -up world --deep

So anything I put in /usr/local/portage doesn't get overwritten when I emerge rsync, right?

Thanks! That's very cool.

Correct - Comes in very handy.

You can change the location to something other then /usr/local/portage with the PORTAGE_OVERLAY setting in your /etc/make.conf file.
