You can't so it with USE flags as evolution is a hard dependency on |
| 11 |
gnome-base/gnome: |

|

RDEPEND="!gnome-base/gnome-core |

So, if you emerged gnome, you's-a-gonna get evolution. Instead, you |
| 24 |
should unmerge gnome (it's just a meta package), then merge |
| 25 |
gnome-light. This is a minimal set of packages that gnome must have to |
| 26 |
work at all. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Then run emerge -pv --depclean to see what portage wants to remove. To |
| 29 |
prevent this, you must select the packages you want to keep from that |
| 30 |
list and explicitly put them into world with |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
emerge -avn <list of packages> |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Then rerun emerge -pv --depclean again, and if you are happy losing |
| 35 |
what's in that list, let it run without -p |
