Description Aaron Peterson 2006-07-02 18:47:51 UTC

openldap hasn't compiled for me.. for... months now. I've emerge system -e  ed quite a few times... and tried alternative useflags.. eitherway, I'm doing a lot of emerge --resume --skipfirst

I want to be able to do:

emerge world -uD --skipfirst

and have it just not do the openldap package....

but it attempts to resume the last emerge command instead.
(it implies --resume... which doesn't make sence)

--skipfirst is only intended for use with --resume.  Find out why openldap won't build and fix it.

you probably have the ldap useflag set -- if you don't want ldap, unsetting that seems like a good idea.
