i usually do: usr root # emerge -pvu --deep $(qpkg -I -nc) These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies - !!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "net-www/mplayerplug-in" have been masked. !!! Error calculating dependancies. Please correct. to get this to run i have to enter: usr root # emerge -pvu --deep $(qpkg -I -nc | grep -v mplayerplug-in) These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! ...list follows... i would like to have a switch that lets emerge ignore this kind of errors. what do you think? -- cu, flo Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: not a bug
I agree. I have seen another case where this would be useful. On my system, I am running with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86". As a result often there is at least one package that fails while building. This has two problems. 1. Emerge does not notify me of any changes in config files. 2. When I run "emerge -uD world" eventually the package that doesn't build is at the top of the list, and it won't build anything because it fails on that one. But several packages do not depend on the one that fails. (I can go in by hand and build them) I would like to see a flag that lets emerge build everything it can before it stops. (Similar to a make -k)
