26 One of your package must depend on gnome-vfs, and tries to pull it when you
27 emerge -Dup world (maybe it's just the upgrade that depends on it, most
28 probably because of a new useflag).
29
30 You could just unmask neon, but IMHO, gnome-vfs and neon would be installed on
31 your system during the upgrade process, and I don not think that's something
32 you want.
33
34 Try a qdepends -Q gnome-vfs to figure out what package is pulling it, and
35 fiddle the useflags accordingly.
36
37 BTW, what version of portage are you using ?
