The shell script handles that case.  It looks at what failed and uses equery to
see what packages depend on the failed package and removes those from the
list...


    echo "*** $failedpkg compile failed, skipping."
    # Is there a package in 'emergelist' that requires the failed pkg as a dep? If so, remove it too.
    failedpkgdeps=`echo $failedpkg | sed 's/-[0-9].*//'`
    deps=`equery depends $failedpkgdeps | sed '/^\[/d' | sed 's/-[0-9].*//'`
    for each in `echo $deps`
    do
      if [[ -n `cat $emergelist | grep "$each"` ]]
        then
        if [[ -n `emerge -p $each | grep "$failedpkg"` ]]
          then
          each2=`cat $emergelist | grep $each | sed 's/\=//'`
          echo "$each2 (depends on $failedpkg)" >> $failedlist
          eachsed=`echo $each | sed 's|\/|\\\/|'`
          cat $emergelist | sed "/$eachsed/d" > $emergetemp
          mv $emergetemp $emergelist
          echo "*** $each depends on $failedpkg, skipping."
          else :
        fi
        else :
      fi
    done
