emerge unmerge
although gnome is just a stub for all its libraries so you should do a depclean after this to actually get ride of gnome, but why would you do such a horrible thing to a good little gnome like that? Why? |

Good my son, now GNOME is sadly a bit hard to get completely rid of.'
editing your make.conf' USE flag settings to say -gtk -gtk2 -gnome and then
emerge unmerge gnome && emerge depclean should help you a bit... |

so i followed Lovechild's directions and all went well, but now when i do an emerge world -p i get...
| Code: | These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating world dependencies
*** Package in world file is not installed: gnome-base/gnome ...done!
|
if i take off the -p it appears to work as normal, but i'm wondering if it would cause problems in the future and how i might fix it. |

I feel somewhat guilty to support such actions... but:
you still have gnome in your world-file.
Go edit "/var/cache/edb/world" and remove the line "gnome-base/gnome" there, then a deplclean might help you. |
