Sometimes you need to build for different targets and or combinations on the on the one host. So if your make.conf contains something like TARGET_NAME="abcdef" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="${X_TMP_BUILDS_BASE}/${TARGET_NAME}" portage-utils commands, eg. qlop qlist q ... will get stuck in an infinite loop in the initialize enviroment function. For some reason PORTAGE_TMPDIR="${X_TMP_BUILDS_BASE}/$TARGET_NAME" is fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add a composite PORTAGE_TMPDIR env variable, consisting of two parts as described above 2. run qlist 3. Actual Results: qlist sit there spinning forever while reading the environement Expected Results: Handle this a bit more gracefully
what version of portage-utils are you using ? please always post `emerge --info` when you file bugs.

Are you talking about this version: app-portage/portage-utils-0.10
should be fixed in 0.11
I just tried again with said version. host / # qlist -Iv | grep portage app-portage/gentoolkit-0.3.0.6-r3 app-portage/portage-utils-0.11 sys-apps/portage-2.1.11.11 host / # grep TMPDIR /etc/make.conf PORTAGE_TMPDIR="${X_GENTOO_DIR}/$CONFIG_NAME" host / # vi /etc/make.conf qc / # grep TMPDIR /etc/make.conf PORTAGE_TMPDIR="${X_GENTOO_DIR}/${CONFIG_NAME}" host / # qlist -Iv | grep portage <Waiting for 10 seconds> ^C
