portage checks if there is enough disk space for all packages to emerge. If the space for a single (or more) package(s) is not enought nothing is emerged at all. IMO --keep-going should (as usualy) make emerge build all packages but that which needs more space. E.g. this happens when libreoffice is among the packages to be updated. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: # create and mount a 2 GB ramdisk PORTAGE_TMPDIR="<mountpoint>" emerge -vuUND @world Actual Results: * Space constrains set in the ebuild were not met! * The build will most probably fail, you should enhance the space * as per failed tests. * * ERROR: app-office/libreoffice-4.4.2.2::gentoo failed (pretend phase): * Build requirements not met! Expected Results: * if requirements are not met just skip that package, not all Portage 2.2.18 (python 2.7.9-final-0, default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde, gcc-4.9.2, glibc-2.20-r2, 3.13.6-gentoo x86_64)
