Hi Mats,
It's working normally.
emerge -up world will only update packages that are
listed in /var/lib/portage/world. OTH, emerge -up
gnome-common behaves just like emerge -p gnome-common.
It is supposed to merge the latest (unmasked)
version.
I gather that gnome-common is not in your world file.
This is normal for packages that are pulled in as
dependencies.
