Using sys-apps/portage-2.2_rc61 I've just had a seldom problem with portage. I had 3 emerge-processes running each using the '-j' option (up to -j8) on an 8 core AMD64 machine. One of these (binary emerge of more than 400 packages) failed with Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 42, in <module> retval = emerge_main() File
