Hi. I don't believe I've ever seen portage's --resume --skipfirst option work correctly without saying "invalid resume list". I know this is incorrect because I've manually checked that all deps are satisfied and it even occurs if a custom package I'm working on with nothing depending upon it fails.
Is something misconfigured on my end or is this just a long-standing bug? I at least need a way to either recover the list of packages manually or force portage to continue on because any failure prevents updating a system. --nodeps isn't an option because this causes portage to disregard the merge order which can be a problem. I can't even find where portage stores the resume list. Long ago I think it was in a python pickle file somewhere but I can't find this anymore. Any pointers? Thanks.
