1 Hi. I don't believe I've ever seen portage's --resume --skipfirst
2 option work correctly without saying "invalid resume list". I know
3 this is incorrect because I've manually checked that all deps are
4 satisfied and it even occurs if a custom package I'm working on with
5 nothing depending upon it fails.

7 Is something misconfigured on my end or is this just a long-standing
8 bug? I at least need a way to either recover the list of packages
9 manually or force portage to continue on because any failure prevents
10 updating a system. --nodeps isn't an option because this causes
11 portage to disregard the merge order which can be a problem.
12
13 I can't even find where portage stores the resume list. Long ago I
14 think it was in a python pickle file somewhere but I can't find this
15 anymore. Any pointers? Thanks.
