I have had to stop emerges before and it doesn't hurt anything. The |
19 |
power failure is basically the same as ctrl + c or killing the process. |

I have done that a few times before and it has never been a problem or |
21 |
caused any that I know of. |

That said, I have never had the same situation during the actual copying |
24 |
of the install from the tmp location to the running system though. I'm |
25 |
sure someone that codes portage has thought of this and as you said, I |
26 |
am sure there is some "feature" that would deal with this. I'm not sure |
27 |
when this error or message would pop up though. If you think about it, |
28 |
the actual install is really short so it may not happen very often. |
