[gentoo-user] --skipfirst

[Uwe Thiem]

Hi folks,

it seems ivtv needs a newer kernel than the one I am currently using; it 
depends on a configuration symbol in the kernel that is not present in mine. 
Since I don't have the time right now to go through a kernel configuration, I 
want to skip ivtv.

emerge --update --skipfirst world

Unfortunately, that skips ivtv *and* the next package which is OpenOffice.

I know I can temporarely unmerge ivtv but my question is: Is --skipfirst 
broken?

Uwe

Does "emerge --resume --skipfirst" do what you want?  "--skipfirst
world" would skip whatever the first package is plus any dependancies.

Or you could put later versions of ivtv in /etc/portage/package.mask
until the problem is soled.
