Description Scott Taylor (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-12-31 10:50:12 UTC 
I started the emerge --resume, walked away, and it tried installing itself some 85 times in a row. emerge --resume --skipfirst does get it back on track.

Comment 1 Scott Taylor (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-12-31 16:19:00 UTC 
At first i thought it was just a rare situation that this happened in.
Is it not properly saving the work queue before calling the restart?
In fact, its much worse (here while trying to do emerge --emptytree gimp-1.3.23.ebuild):

Comment 2 Scott Taylor (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-12-31 18:08:33 UTC 
fyi, if the decision to rebuild portage happened by way of an emerge -UD world,
portage appears to be respawned using the same command (and therefore ignoring the
previous queue by recalculating dependancies) - and is not caught up by this
problem.
Comment 3 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-01-06 00:11:56 UTC 
Fixed with -r20
Comment 4 Scott Taylor (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-01-09 23:19:20 UTC 
emerge -e world restarts from scratch after portage is installed.
