17 Here is what I did:
18
19 - When emerge stopped at openssl I continued with emerge --resume
20 --skipfirst.
21
22 - Perl was merged cleanly without openssl.
23 - Then sometime later emerge stopped because of the missing openssl, I
24 think it was wget that failed.
25 - At this point I merged openssl directly with ebuild merge.
26 - Then the emerge finished cleanly after anotheder emerge --resume.

29 I hope I did not miss anything, but I think this was the way it worked
30 for me.
