How do I prevent emerge from demanding that emacs 24 be installed? I
uninstalled it a few days ago and re-installed 23 because 24 was just
too buggy to be usable.
I put this in /etc/portage/package.mask to keep 24 from getting
installed:
>=app-editors/emacs-24.0
But emerge -u keeps insisting that it be allowed to re-install emacs 24:
# emerge -auvND world
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

The following mask changes are necessary to proceed:
#required by virtual/emacs-24, required by
app-emacs/emacs-common-gentoo-1.3-r3, required by app-editors/emacs-23.4-r4,
required by @selected, required by @world (argument)
# /etc/portage/package.mask:
=app-editors/emacs-24.2
NOTE: The --autounmask-keep-masks option will prevent emerge
from creating package.unmask or ** keyword changes.
Use --autounmask-write to write changes to config files (honoring
CONFIG_PROTECT).
How do I tell emerge that I don't want emacs 24?
