So how does that help me? I already know that the ebuild file is there. What I want to know is how to actually have my tools find it and enable me to install it using them. I want to be able to do `emerge emacs` (with maybe some variations) and get version 27.

I apparently have some emacs packages that don't sit well with 28 yet. It freezes up completely at random moments, which make it unusable. I really need emacs to just work to be able to do my job and don't have the time to dive into this issue now. So I want 27 back. But how? Ideally I'd like to just use slots I think? Don't have much experience with it. From some posts on the internet (mostly gentoo related) it looks like it should just work by installing 27 next to 28, but I can't seem to find 27 anymore. eix emacs shows me [I] app-editors/emacs [1] Available versions: (28) 28.1 So where did 27 go and how do I get it back?

Thanks from me also. I ran into a similar issue (?) with a curl update that was failing in `configure`. Turns out I had an old version of binutil-libs that the curl ebuild (as the only one for some reason, all other builds had no issue) was picking up and failing on. A re-emerge of binutils-libs finally fixed that for me. I had re-emerged binutils (and tried a number of other fixes that werent'), wasn't aware that -libs was there too...
