With emerge there are currently at least two possible ways to accomplish this: 1) Put the package in /etc/portage/package.mask (it will trigger warnings about the installed package being masked though) 2) Use the emerge --exclude option. If those don't fit well enough, we can add yet another way to do it. -- Thanks, Zac
