I wanted to do a "emerge -e world" to rebuild. I typed it and all went fine. Then it came a power interupption. Started my system and wanted to do "emerge --resume" to resume the process (witch had gone for some hours and had some let). To my dissapointment: "emerge: It seems we have nothing to resume..." my /var/tmp/portage indicates something else. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Corruption is not fixable by any means available to portage.
But then I have a question: Why if I cancel a emerge then it is possible to resume, but not after powerfailure/terminal faliure. I have had the same problem a while ago when my X was unstable and randomly restarted. Any emerge right then going on in an open term.window had to be restarted from scratch. I believe this has something to do when portage write the information --resume uses to know where from to continue and then comes my question: is this information not presented during the emerge only to be written when error/canceled out?
