45 I did emerge =gnome-base/gnome-3.2.0, and unmasked/keyworded by hand
46 the necessary packages. But maybe just check that the "**" is not in
47 any file on /etc/portage/package.keyworks/* (except perhaps the ones
48 I'm using). If there is no "**" keyworkd, no non-live ebuild should be
49 installed.
50
51 Oh, and also in /etc/portage/package.unmask/*, of course.
52
53 Good luck.
