USE error

A friend and my self have started using Gentoo, I have been using has been using if for 3 days. For some reason its not ignoring packages that we have subtracted in the use varible.

For example USE = "X gtk gnome -kde -qt" and when we did an emerge -p gnome it wanted to load qt

in another instance on a different computer we had emerge -Up world with a -gnome in the use variable and it still wanted to upgrade gnome.

This is happening on 3 computers can you please tell us how we can fix this problem, thanks

Often portage can try to emerge packages that you don't want or expect to be installed. This is often caused by a USE flag pulling in something unwanted; in your case it may be a USE flag like arts that is causing qt to be installed. You can see what the offending USE flags are with the following command:

If gnome is in your world file it will be upgraded, if you don't want gnome
