Problem with SpamAssassin

I am setting up Gentoo the first time.

After  a couple of trials I am at the point that I want to
install  
Gnome. Part of the package is SpamAssassin, which the ebuild
wants to  
load as version 3.2.1. Well, it seems, SpamAssassin is
already on 3.2.2.


How do I convince emerge to take the newer version since it
can not  
find the older one.

For right now I added  -spamassassin to USE to proceed
installation,  
but I would like to fix it. -- did not work

Thanks for help
Herb

It should be fixed by now.
