As explained at the end of the migration guide (did not see it myself the first time) use: # emerge --resume --skipfirst This will continue your last emerge but skip the first package in the list (which is the one that failed). realplayer is most likley pulled in as dependecy by another package, maybe because of a specific use flag. If you have gentoolkit installed, try # equery depends realplayer HTH, Matthias -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
