remove a package from world

I've forgotten to give "-1" when I installed the meta-package "gnome".

I'd like it to be removed from world now, so that I can unmerge evolution and epiphany.

How can I do that?

You could just edit /var/lib/portage/world and remove it (worked for me when I was clearing stuff out anyway).

Rob1n's method will work, but in this case since gnome is just a metapackage, you can `emerge -C gnome` to remove it from world.

Yes.. they work.

But I need the gnome package or --depclean will remove everything ...........

If I mask evolution and epiphany, emerge just fails...........
