I tried to rebuild my whole system with 'emerge -DeU world'. Four days later, when it was still building (and still on #42 out of 334), I checked out /var/log/emerge.log to diagnose. Here it is in a nutshell: emerge recognized that with -De it needed to rebuild darned near everything emerge started building package 1 out of 334 emerge got to portage (62 out of 334 packages) emerge built portage emerge execed itself so that it would build the rest with the new portage. emerge recognized that with -De it needed to rebuild darned near everything emerge started building package 1 out of 334 lather, rinse, repeat Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -DeU world 2. 3. Actual Results: Described in details Expected Results: Built packages 1 through 334 instead of packages 1 through 62 and then 1 through 62 and then 1 through 62..... craigk@caley craigk $ emerge info *** You are not in the portage group.

When was the last time you did emerge sync? emerge sync emerge portage emerge -V echo /var/db/pkg/sys-apps/portage*
old and no further responses
A fix for this was released in 2.1_pre5.
