Running catalyst stage1 ==> stage2 ==> stage3 build, the stage3 build fails at emerging portage-utils due to the missing xz-utils dependency. Checking the versions in the tree, 0.5 and newer switched from tar.bz2 to tar.xz distfiles. This error seems to have occurred due to having --jobs set to more than one. In this case it was set --jobs=3. This resulted in xz-utils (job #3) still waiting for the install merge when it was needed to unpack portage-utils (job #24).
