Description Matthias Liertzer 2003-01-15 14:14:31 UTC 
When I tried to do an "emerge -e glibc", portage kept on running forever. 
Okay, so what happened? It seems as if portage after being updated by the 
emerge command, starts the whole emerge -e glibc again. So in fact this 
command never finishes. 
 
Here's the output of emerge -V: 
Portage 2.0.46-r7 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.1, glibc-2.3.1-r2) 
 
It's quite interesting, that emerge -V tells me that I've installed -r7 
although I updated to portage 2.0.46-r8 just before I ran the emerge -e glibc 
command.
