When gzip'ing xorg-x11's manpages, some invalid (i.e. nonexisting filenames) are passed as input to gzip. Normally gzip just bails out with "file not found"-errors, but unfortunately one of these incorrect filenames is "-" which results in gzip reading from STDIN. So the process "hangs" until CTRL-D is pressed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge xorg-x11 2. wait for manpages being gzip'ed 3. Actual Results: gzip gets an invalid filename "-" which results in gzip reading from STDIN and not continuing until CTRL-D is pressed Expected Results: it shouldn't pass incorrect filenames to gzip
Created attachment 38561 [details] grep gzip 1584-xorg-x11-6.7.903.log | grep man | grep 'Not found' This is a result of " grep gzip 1584-xorg-x11-6.7.903.log | grep man | grep 'Not found' ". It shows the invalid filenames with the reading from STDIN in the end

It's passing some error message to gzip, word by word. If you read vertically, you can sort of see it.
http://dev.gentoo.org/~spyderous/3508-xorg-x11-6.7.99.903.log.bz2 is a standard log, if you want some comparison.
Quick note for those following along at home: This is happening in "prepman /usr/X11R6" -- it appears that ssh is getting called in some way, somehow.

cc'ing portage team on this
I don't think prepman ever expected subdirectories inside of man dirs. I think that's a little strange myself... but there's a fix in cvs. - if [ "${y##*.}" != "gz" ]; then + if [ "${y##*.}" != "gz" ] && [ ! -d "${y}" ]; then echo "gzipping man page: ${y##*/}" gzip -f -9 "${y}" fi

You might have a regression here. "I get the following when trying to emerge xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3 with portage-2.0.51-r8" ... from #77587
Yes, please re-open! The only reason I filed a new bug is because I'm unable to re-open this one... :-/
Can you add the CONTENTS file from /var/db/pkg/ for the relevant build please?

Is this still an issue?
No response; get back to us.
