23 Ah, no, that's not an option. It breaks for a reason. Sometimes I can ignore
24 that and look for it later and in this case I skip it, but normally I fix
25 the problem first. However, you have to take care, which package you're
26 actually skipping. Especially if the build order is different with resume.
