Subject: [gentoo-user] Pre-emerge checks are pointless.

I'm trying to drag through a pass of emerge --emptytree world and I hit
a block of 50 failures, the only way to get through these is to
skipfirst through each one... I'm a gentoo user so therefore I'm a
massochist so I just have to sacrifice a few dozen hours with uparrow
-enter every few minutes. But EACH AND EVERY TIME I do this, it does
pre-emerge checks for packages that it doesn't even reach to try to
emerge... I mean the package is just going to fail anyway along with
these other packages so doing a pre-emerge check is just wasting my damn
time as it is running about 30 checks none of which have any effect, or
any real point at all. I guess with a fundamentally massochistic user
base, the maintainers had to be as sadistic as they could possibly be... =\
