[gentoo-user] Modify emerge --resume

[Marco Calviani]

Hi list,
   i was running an emerge -e world while emerge stuck on a package
(that was openinventor). The problem was that with the modular X, the
"testing" version was necessary. Now i would like to resume the emerge
process, but however with emerge --resume, Portage wants to install
the older version.
How is it possible to force the newer one?

Regards and thanks,
Marco

If you save the attached file I believe that:

# python resume_list.py

should give you the resume list. Then you can alter the resulting list and 
emerge the altered list with --oneshot ...

emerge the testing version of the package manually then use emerge
--resume --skipfirst. Single emerges don't clear the list used by --resume.

# echo $(python resume_list.py)

# emerge -va1 $(python resume_list.py)
