It has been some weeks that each time I upgrade portage, it justs stops right there, just after autocleaning of previous version (as in I run emerge -Duav world and it stops right after portage). I made some tests to find out that portage-2.1.2_pre2-r9 was the highest version that was working for me as of 2006-10-30. emerge --info with portage-2.1.2_pre2-r9 : Portage 2.1.2_pre2-r9 (default-linux/x86/2006.1/desktop, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.5-r0, 2.6.17-suspend2-r4 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.17-suspend2-r4 i686 Pentium III (Katmai) Gentoo Base System version 1.12.6 Last Sync: Thu, 09 Nov 2006 02:00:03 +0000 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [enabled] ccache version 2.4 [disabled] app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.30 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r6 dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.60 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.14 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -fomit-frame-pointer -ftree-vectorize -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/NX/etc /usr/NX/home /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/X11/xkb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -fomit-frame-pointer -ftree-vectorize -pipe -fvisibility-inlines-hidden" DISTDIR="/var/tmp/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distcc distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://85.25.128.62 http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo http://pandemonium.tiscali.de/pub/gentoo/" LANG="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_ALL="fr_FR.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed" LINGUAS="en fr ja zh zh_CN" MAKEOPTS="-j6" PKGDIR="/var/tmp/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="--exclude-from=/etc/portage/rsync-exlude" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/overlays/portage /usr/portage/local/layman/gentopia /usr/portage/local/layman/liferea_overlay /usr/portage/local/layman/sunrise /usr/portage/local/layman/sunrise /usr/portage/local/layman/wrobel /usr/portage/local/layman/portage-xgl" SYNC="rsync://percolator/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X a52 aalib acl acpi alsa avahi bash-completion beagle bitmap-fonts bonjour bzip2 cairo canna cdr cjk cli cracklib crypt cups daap dbus dlloader dri dvd dvdr eds elibc_glibc emboss encode esd evo exif fam fbcon ffmpeg firefox flac freewnn gaim gif glitz glx gnome gnutls gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtkhtml h264 hal iconv input_devices_evdev input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse ipv6 isdnlog jabber jpeg kernel_linux lcms ldap libg++ libnotify libsexy linguas_en linguas_fr linguas_ja linguas_zh linguas_zh_CN logrotate mad matroska mmx mng mono mp3 mpeg msn musicbrainz ncurses networkmanager nfs nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin ogg opengl pam parse-clocks pcre pdf perl png ppds pppd python quicktime readline reflection samba sasl sdl session silc smp spell spl sqlite sse ssl svg tcpd theora threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb userland_GNU v4l v4l2 video_cards_r200 video_cards_radeon video_cards_vesa vorbis win32codecs x264 xinerama xml xorg xv xvid zlib" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK and with latest portage !!!
