Description Martin von Gagern 2010-10-09 20:15:37 UTC
Today I've encountered two instances of an emerge that failed to keep going. The command was "emerge -uaND --keep-going -j5 @system @world" in each case. The first time I had another command immediately after the update which filled my scrollback buffer. The second time I found that it did encounter one build error and recover from it, but later on it encountered another build error after which it printed package messages instead of properly continuing.

I haven't encountered anything like this before, and the fact that I do so now makes me consider it likely that this behaviour might be due to a fairly new bug, probably introduced somewhere between rc88 and rc91.

After I read the elog mail about the first error (which is due to bug #339775 by the way) I added "=dev-python/matplotlib-1.0.0 -doc" to a file in my /etc/portage/package.use directory. I don't know if this kind of change to the portage configuration could have anything to do with this issue. I don't think I did any such modification during my first world update attempt.
Comment 1 Cyprien Nicolas (fulax) 2010-10-13 11:52:42 UTC
I have the same issue here, --keep-going simply doesn't work:

sita-exp ~ # emerge -DuNa world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

===============================================================================

I expect --keep-going to ignore gnome-light and continue to process with the other packages which does not depend on yelp and/or gnome-light, and as far as I remember, it always did it before (but I can't tell the version)

I think that failing packages used to be moved at the end of a new emerge process, but it seems that it is no longer the case anymore.

I can paste my emerge --info if needed, but I don't want to make that comment too long.
Comment 2 Dennis Schridde 2011-05-23 12:41:54 UTC
Same issue with sys-apps/portage-2.2.0_alpha35, keep-going currently never works for me.

emerge always aborts after a failed merge, like here:

Please have a look at the possible duplicates bug #263630, bug #312467, bug #312789, bug #340287, bug #342713, bug #362355, and then raise the priority of the appropriate bugs. This issue is really annoying me by now, because it prevents a proper update of @world since months.

The above symptom might be fixed by the following commit:

http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=5d8804712e9f49308f17f7fbb889edb048fa6c3a

See bug 374583, comment #6.

I don't see a "One or more packages are either masked or have missing dependencies" message in comment #0 or comment #2, so maybe that's a different issue.

When posting information like this, please include the portage version. There have been recent fixes in the relevant code (bug 374583 and bug 378187).
Comment 9 Thomas Capricelli 2014-05-03 01:15:29 UTC
i've had this pb for months if not more. I've used --keep-going since it exists and it used to work well.

Two examples today on ~amd64 with sys-apps/portage-2.2.10, command is
      sudo emerge -qvta --keep-going -j 4 --load-average=7 -u world

I mean, both qupzilla and dev-qt/qtmultimedia-5.3.9999 are really unimportant stuff and "leafs" in the dep tree, they shouldn't prevent other packages to be emerged.

Portage --debug output.

My case: smart-live-rebuild produced the following command:
emerge --oneshot -1avq --keep-going kde-apps/kio-extras:5 kde-apps/messagelib:5 kde-apps/libkleo:5 kde-apps/calendarsupport:5 kde-apps/kdepim:5 kde-apps/kdepim-apps-libs:5 kde-apps/dolphin:5 kde-apps/akonadi:5 kde-apps/libksieve:5 kde-apps/kcalutils:5 kde-apps/kimap:5 kde-apps/kdepim-runtime:5 app-text/goldendict:0 app-text/kbibtex:5 net-libs/rb_libtorrent:0 net-libs/telepathy-qt:0 www-client/qupzilla:0 media-video/mpv:0 media-video/gpac:0 media-video/handbrake:0 media-gfx/ktikz:0 net-p2p/eiskaltdcpp:0

Typically, failed "leafs" can case a dependency calculation to fail because it results in the currently installed versions of those "leafs" to be pulled into the dependency graph, and those versions may now have unsatisfied dependencies due to other upgrades that have occurred.

It's likely an issue like that described above.
Comment 15 Eugene Shalygin 2016-04-28 03:35:44 UTC
In my case the problem was the following. In the error printed by emerge when --keep-going failed I read that one of the packages (kbibtex) depends on an unavailable or masked package (dev-libs/qoauth:5). The strange thing is this package is installed. And why did emerge say not a word about at the start? Nevertheless, after reinstalling dev-libs/qoauth:5 --keep-going mode works. It looks like dependency resolution during --keep-going stage is not the same as at regular run?

--debug output of the latest portage (as of the current time).

This has gotten worst with the latest portage of the current time (9999). Now it's getting very difficult to upgrade.

Attached is the --debug output

There haven't been changes to the relevant code lately, so it must be something about the state of your packages that triggers the behavior that you are seeing. Your debug log shows that you need to install sys-libs/readline:0/0:
