[gentoo-user] @preserved-rebuild and how to clear the list

[Dale]

Hi,

I recently did some upgrading which lead to some other packages having
to be rebuilt.  I have one that can't build and hasn't been able to for
ages so I assume it isn't going to be fixed.  It is hearts which is
pulled in my kde-meta.  This rebuild also forced me to upgrade kbackup
which doesn't work with DVD but only CD sizes. 

My question is, since the hearts package can't build, how do I tell
emerge to stop buggin me about it?  Is there a way to clear the list?

Of course, a fix for hearts and kbackup would be wonderful too.

hearts and kbackup are not pulled in by kde-meta (they *may* have been in the 
past but no longer).

Just unmerge then and find alternatives.
