emerge: Resume a failed updated, skipping the failing package.
$ emerge --resume --skipfirst
try on your machine
The command emerge --resume --skipfirst
is used in Gentoo Linux's package management system Portage. Here's an explanation of each component of the command:
emerge
: This is the command used to manage software packages in Gentoo Linux. It can be used to install, upgrade, or remove packages.--resume
: This option is used to resume a package installation that has been interrupted or stopped previously. It allows the package manager to continue from where it left off rather than starting the installation process from the beginning.--skipfirst
: This option tells the package manager to skip the first package in the list of packages to be installed or upgraded. It is typically used when there are multiple packages to be installed or upgraded, and the user wants to skip the first one for some reason (e.g., if it's causing problems or conflicts).
Overall, the command emerge --resume --skipfirst
is used to resume the installation process of packages and skip the first package in the list.
