6 You'd think, but --keep-going tries to recompute dependencies and if
7 the original emerge crashes in an inconsistent state, that often seems
8 to push the calculation over the edge, preventing portage from figuring
9 out how to proceed.

11 In my half-baked imagination,
12
13 emerge --i-dont-care -uDN @world
14
15 would build the package list normally, but then would go through them
16 one at a time as if "emerge -1 --nodeps" was used for each. So once we
17 know that the package list *can* be emerged in that order -- just do
18 it, and don't try to think again.
