Sometimes emerge has done all it can and it needs a human fix to carry on. Dale :-) :-)

Helmut's question looks like emerge fails to make a list of stuff to compile due to hard blocks. Not a compile failure. So --keep-going won't work -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com

[gentoo-user] How to update a system if some packages can't be updated
Hi, I have packages which can't be updated at the moment, e.g. dev-python/numba doesn't work with llvm-4.0.0(_rc3) But this makes emerge -uvp --tree --unordered-display --verbose-conflicts --deep --with-bdeps=y @world fail. Is there any means to proceed except masking all those packages which can't be currently updated. Many thanks for a hint, Helmut
