That was mentioned last week. I responded I tried that a while ago. The problem is that then portage believe those packages aren't on my stable system and says that I must merge an unstable package. Specifically excluding the buggy (old) version of webkit-gtk, portage wants me to merge a newish (testing) version of gnucash that uses a solid new version of webkit-gtk. I have the new version of webkit-gtk, but really want to delay installing the testing gnucash. allan
