An emerge -pU world operation dies in mid stream if any of the selected ebuilds have masked prerequisites. There are two problems here: 1. The emerge -pU world should complete and tell me all the ebuilds that are candidates for upgrading, instead of just dying. 2. There needs to be an option to bypass any ebuilds that have incomplete prerequisites. The sample is Calculating world dependencies / !!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "=x11-libs/wxGTK-2.4.1*" have been masked. !!! (dependency required by "dev-python/wxPython-2.4.1.2" [ebuild]) !!! Problem with ebuild dev-python/wxPython-2.4.1.2 !!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem. !!! Depgraph creation failed. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -pU world 2. 3. Actual Results: As above. The ebuild in question will probably get fixed, but the behavior is still suspect. Expected Results: A better way of handling this. Until the specific ebuild in error gets fixed, I can't successfully run emerge -pU world.
