Wrong question. What you want to do is tell portage to not pull gtk2hs |
| 16 |
in. That is happening more than likely because of some USE flag you |
| 17 |
have enabled. So, unmerging it simply causes portage to pull it back in |
| 18 |
with the next merge... |

2 ways to find out: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
1. equery depends gtk2hs |
| 23 |
This method is not really reliable but works often enough |
| 24 |
to be useful |
| 25 |
2. emerge -avunDt world |
| 26 |
This gives a nice tree view of what is going on. Note that more than |
| 27 |
one package might want gtk2hs, so you might have to run this more |
| 28 |
than once. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Finally, there is no need for you to run 'emerge -pev world' to find out |
| 31 |
stuff. That fools portage into thinking nothing is obscured, everything |
| 32 |
shows up as a new package and the differences upgrades, remerges and |
| 33 |
new package is lost. |

|

If it's due to a USE flag (highly likely), remove the flag from USE |
