Here is what I did: - When emerge stopped at openssl I continued with emerge --resume --skipfirst. - Perl was merged cleanly without openssl. - Then sometime later emerge stopped because of the missing openssl, I think it was wget that failed. - At this point I merged openssl directly with ebuild merge. - Then the emerge finished cleanly after anotheder emerge --resume. I hope I did not miss anything, but I think this was the way it worked for me. -- Andreas
