Bug 265034 – sys-apps/portage-2.1.6.11: resume list was lost after removal of package expected by emerge

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Pacho Ramos 2009-04-05 23:46:56 UTC]

I had two old ebuilds on my local portage overlay that failed to merge during "emerge -e world". After their failure, I removed them from the local overlay, then, I got the following behavior:
# emerge --resume
Calculating dependencies... done!

Having to run "emerge -e world" once again :-(

Also, where is stored resume list? Would be interesing being able to "edit" it manually. Thanks

It's stored in /var/cache/edb/mtimedb but it's not possible to recover the original list in this case since emerge it is destroyed by emerge. However, it would be possible to deduce which ones were most recently merged by looking at /var/db/pkg/*/*/COUNTER. With portage-2.2, it's also possible to use AgeSet as mentioned in bug 247106, comment #2.

[Comment 2 Pacho Ramos 2009-04-07 09:48:36 UTC]

Thanks for the info. In my case I would need emerge to skip already merged packages and continue, but it's interesting to know that info anyway :-)

[Comment 3 Zac Medico 2009-04-10 19:24:49 UTC]

In svn r13312 it's fixed to tolerate missing packages.

[Comment 4 Zac Medico 2009-04-11 04:26:41 UTC]

This is fixed in 2.2_rc29.

[Comment 5 Pacho Ramos 2009-04-15 06:54:05 UTC]

Thanks!

[Comment 6 Zac Medico 2009-05-02 02:44:36 UTC]

This is fixed in 2.1.6.12.
