Re: [gentoo-user] remove a package from world without unmerging?

[AllenJB]

From Portage 2.2 rc30 onwards you can use --deselect. This ability is 
not present in any previous version.

Until you're using Portage 2.2, the other alternative is to manually 
edit the world file (MAKE A BACKUP FIRST!)

Hi,

I am searching for the opposite of emerge --noreplace <atom>. I forgot
-1 and now the package is part of the world file. It does not belong
there, it is a dependency I wanted to update. I don't want to run
--unmerge and -av1 again. What can I do?
