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.

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.
