You may find that using 'emerge --deselect some-package' to be what |
| 22 |
you need. It removeds the file from your world file, but does not |
| 23 |
unmerge the package. That command switch is the functional opposite of |
| 24 |
--noreplace. |

I think you will find a wealth of information in the manpage for |
| 27 |
emerge. Happy reading! |
