I get dependency problems in my normal update world that I can't
understand. The entire output is below.

As far as I can tell gnome-2.32.1-r1 (which is installed) is requiring
packages from gnome-3, which must be wrong. I don't see any such
dependencies in the ebuild for gnome-2.32.1-r1 and there is an "official
mask list" (which I am using) for those of us who want to
delay installing gnome-3 for a while.

My conclusion that gnome-2... is requiring gnome-3 packages (which I
know is wrong) comes from two points in the output below.

1. The indenting of the --tree --verbose output seems to say this
(e.g., the first two lines say gnome-2... depends on nautilus-3)

2. The comments related to mask changes at the bottom say
evince-3... is required by gnome-2...

Please help.
thanks,
allan

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).
