I guess this is one way to catch=20 them all for sure but it is sort of difficult to know what was already=20 fixed and what is still broke. I think I see what you are expecting and I wish it was that way but it=20 appears we are not getting what we want with this. Is it doable, maybe,=20 but not at the moment. By the way, I run the unstable versions of those=20 tools. I guess if the emerge fails, then one would have to use the --resume=20 option to try to rebuild packages or just rebuild what fails by hand and=20 hope you don't miss anything. Dale :-) :-)
