Bug 264923 – sys-apps/portage-2.1.6.11: skipfirst makes other packages to be skipped but it's really hard to know who are they

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Pacho Ramos 2009-04-04 23:12:57 UTC]

I was running emerge -e world, but it stopped because of expect failing, then, I run "emerge --skipfirst" but, as seen in emerge.log, other packages were skipped (maybe because they depend on expect). I think that I saw "something" at first in emerge output, but it got lost quickly just after full packages list covered by console window.

1238886238:  >>> emerge (3 of 121) x11-libs/libSM-1.0.3 to /

As you can see, other 3 packages were skipped, but I don't know which one

I think that skipped packages list should be shown at end for having for time to read it. Thanks

Reproducible: Always

You might want to try --keep-going since that should list all of the skipped packages. The --skipfirst option is considered to be sort of a "legacy" option now that --keep-going is available. Also, note that --skip-first has specially issues (bug #247106) when using --jobs for parallel builds.

[Comment 2 Pacho Ramos 2009-04-07 09:51:15 UTC]

With --keep-going I hit other problem: bug 264806 

But thanks for the tip 

[Comment 3 Brian Dolbec (RETIRED) 2015-03-04 22:52:18 UTC]

Pacho, is this bug still relevant with recent portage versions?

If not, please close it.  Thanks

[Comment 4 Pacho Ramos 2015-03-07 11:24:58 UTC]

It's nice now :D
# emerge --skipfirst

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

Calculating dependencies... done!
!!! One or more packages have been dropped due to
!!! masking or unsatisfied dependencies:

  (dev-python/chaco-4.5.0:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) requires >=dev-python/enable-4.4.0[python_targets_python2_7(-),-python_single_target_python2_7(-)], >=dev-python/enable-4.4.0[python_targets_python2_7(-),-python_single_target_python2_7(-)]

emerge: It seems we have nothing to resume...


Thanks
