The testsuite cannot complete, once it hits test 40: updatedb: Concurrent modification, it does not continue, I left it for more than 10 minutes, then I canceled it. It is always reproducible. It installs and seems to work also ok if I do: FEATURES="-test" emerge -Dva sys-apps/mlocate Here is a log (most of the tests report failure too) make[2]: Entering directory

I cannot reproduce. Go to ${PV}/tests/testsuite and change line 559, remove the ":" for at_verbose, it gives you more output. Please post that here.

I must admit that I have had this problem for quite some time. I don't know if it is related to something else that changed in the system, but I cannot reproduce it now, so I guess close the bug report.
I tried to reproduce by unmerging and remerging...did not work, so closing as fixed.
