Latest unstable portage-version, portage-2.0.53_rc2, gets stuck in an endless loop when I try to "emerge -auDv world". I synced, updated portage (including an update to python-2.4.2 - I ran python-update after that) and now get this: emerge -auDv world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done! After calculating the dependencies, it eats up all cpu-time and seems to be stuck in an endless loop. I can "emerge -auDv individual_packet", or "emerge -auDv system", but not world. Happens only if I use "-u" or "-U". Portage-2.0.51.22-r2 has no problems though. Downgrading solves the problem at the moment.

Created attachment 69713 [details, diff] Removes the catching of signals Try again with this patch. When the dep calculation has finished and it gets into the loop, Ctrl-C and attach the resulting traceback please.
Created attachment 69716 [details] Traceback for "emerge -uDN world -pv" Here you go.
Do several runs yield essentially the same list?
Basically yes, occasionally it ends with: File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_dep.py", line 77, in use_reduce if ("*" in uselist): File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 1516, in __getitem__ def __getitem__(self,mykey):

Created attachment 69724 [details, diff] Adds some noise about where execution is going Applies to fresh 2.0.53_pre2 (includes the other patch) If possible, could you join #gentoo-portage on irc.freenode.net please?
Created attachment 69726 [details, diff] Fixes the problem A config object was being passed where a list of USE flags should have been being passed. This looks like it's been around for a while - not sure why it hasn't been noticed earlier.
WORKSFORME :) Thanks Jason!
2.0.53_rc3 added to CVS. Will hit the mirrors in ~45 minutes.
