Hello! Recently, I deinstalled evolution, as I don't use it and it's thus just a waste for me. At a subsequent "emerge -Duvat world", I see:
[nomerge ] gnome-base/gnome-2.12.3 USE="-accessibility cdr -dvdr hal" [nomerge ] net-analyzer/gnome-nettool-1.4.1 USE="-debug" [ebuild N ] net-analyzer/traceroute-1.4_p12-r5 USE="-static" 79 kB [ebuild N ] mail-client/evolution-2.4.2.1 USE="crypt -dbus -debug doc -gstreamer -ipv6 -kerberos -krb4 -ldap -mono nntp -pda -profile spell ssl" 11,233 kB As you can see, mail-client/evolution is going to be reinstalled as as a dependency of gnome-base/gnome. I dislike that... Is there a way to make emerge/Portage pretend that mail-client/evolution is already installed WITHOUT actually installing it? I do NOT want to deinstall gnome-base/gnome and I also don't really want to put gnome-base/gnome in a local overlay.
