Wrong question. What you want to do is tell portage to not pull gtk2hs 
in. That is happening more than likely because of some USE flag you 
have enabled. So, unmerging it simply causes portage to pull it back in 
with the next merge...

2 ways to find out:

1. equery depends gtk2hs
   This method is not really reliable but works often enough 
   to be useful
2. emerge -avunDt world
   This gives a nice tree view of what is going on. Note that more than
   one package might want gtk2hs, so you might have to run this more
   than once.

Finally, there is no need for you to run 'emerge -pev world' to find out 
stuff. That fools portage into thinking nothing is obscured, everything 
shows up as a new package and the differences upgrades, remerges and 
new package is lost.

If it's due to a USE flag (highly likely), remove the flag from USE

[gentoo-user] How do I update world?

[felix]

I have two problems related to world on my ~amd64 system.  I upgraded
gcc and finished the emerge -ev system, but I can't do the same to
world because of blockage.  Specifically --

!!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

www-client/mozilla-firefox:0

  ('ebuild', '/', 'www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.14', 'merge') pulled in by
    ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-haskell/gtk2hs-0.9.12.1', 'merge')
    @world

  ('ebuild', '/', 'www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.0', 'merge') pulled in by
    @world
    ('ebuild', '/', 'x11-plugins/noscript-1.6.9', 'merge')

x11-proto/printproto:0

  ('ebuild', '/', 'x11-proto/printproto-1.0.3', 'merge') pulled in by
    @world
    ('ebuild', '/', 'x11-base/xorg-server-1.4.2', 'merge')

  ('ebuild', '/', 'x11-proto/printproto-1.0.4', 'merge') pulled in by
    @world
    ('ebuild', '/', 'www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.14', 'merge')
    ('ebuild', '/', 'x11-libs/libXprintUtil-1.0.1', 'merge')
    (and 8 more)

This mess started before firefox-3.0.0 was released, but I have since
upgraded.  I still get this complaint about 2.0.0.14.  I have demerged
dev-haskell/gtk2hs, yet emerge -pev world still wants to drag it in
(it shows as [  N ]) and that apparently wants to drag in the old
firefox.

I have edited /var/lib/portage/world and gtk2hs is not present.
Firefox is present but has no version number.

So, two questions:

    How do I tell portage that gtk2hs is not part of world any more?

    How do I clear these blockages so I can emerge -ev world?

If it's not in the world file, it's not part of world. Running emerge
with the --tree option will show you what wants it installed.

>     How do I clear these blockages so I can emerge -ev world?

Firefox 2 is probably required by some package using the firefox USE
flag. Switch this package(s) to use xulrunner instead and they should be
happy with Firefox 3.

I had tried this, but it blows up and dumps out a nice backtrace which
might be fun for somebody, but not me :-)

Neil mentioned -t also, which does help, but xulrunner, for instance,
shows up with no associated packages so I have no way of telling what
other packages drag in what versions.

I am not sure what you mean.  I need to run emerge -e world after a
major gcc upgrade, according to the upgrade guide.  Is there a better
way of doing this?

emerge depends -a gtk2hs
gives more detail. The only package that shows up here is 
app-portage/himerge. Do you have this installed?

My mistake, I missed the fact that this was after a gcc upgrade

Somebody else posted that this is a known bug caused by the xprint USE 
flag for xorg-server. I would have missed that one, I've had -xprint in 
my USE for a long time now (it's been problematic for ages)

There's a report on b.g.o. on this.  The easy way around is to disable
the xprint flag on xorg-server.

# grep xprint /etc/portage/package.use
x11-base/xorg-server -xprint

I think you mean equery depends, not emerge.  It is broken on my
~amd64 system, but a ~x86 system shows himerge.

I demerged himerge and now it comes down to this:

!!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

x11-proto/printproto:0

  ('ebuild', '/', 'x11-proto/printproto-1.0.3', 'merge') pulled in by
    @world
    ('ebuild', '/', 'x11-base/xorg-server-1.4.2', 'merge')

  ('ebuild', '/', 'x11-proto/printproto-1.0.4', 'merge') pulled in by
    @world
    ('ebuild', '/', 'x11-libs/libXprintUtil-1.0.1', 'merge')
    ('ebuild', '/', 'x11-apps/xdpyinfo-1.0.3', 'merge')
    (and 7 more)

I proably wouldn't miss xdpyinfo much, but other packages depend on it
and I've been down that road of cascading demerges before.  I am not
going to demerge xorg-server.  I am not sure where to go from here.

Bingo!  Looks like that did the trick.  Thanks.
