I actually have to admit that, apparently, I suffer the same mental |
14 |
disability of the poster -that is, I used to believe that using |
15 |
--resume-skipfirst was harmless. |

However in the post no actual explanation was done for that concerning |

Seriously: can someone more skilled than me explain why using |
21 |
--resume-skipfirst and then trying to solve the unmerged packages is/can |
22 |
be a bad idea? How can this break the system? |

In return, I will bring flowers to Algernon. |

Thanks a lot, |
