Emerging gnome-extra/cinnamon-3.0.7-r2 outputs "cp cinnamon-real cinnamon.tmp && mv cinnamon.tmp cinnamon" and hangs up completely. I find that this problem is caused by g-ir-scanner and fixed in 3.2.0 (unfortunately marked as unstable), so I port the commit ( https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/commit/e65f1b995a05c071d4edc3e20dc7c580fc639a82 ) to 3.0.7-r2 as a patch. In my case, this solves my problem. Please verify this patch. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge =gnome-extra/cinnamon-3.0.7-r2 2. 3.

Created attachment 518230 [details, diff] ported patch from 3.2.0
Confirmed, your patch fixes it :)
I understand this is OBSOLETE now with 3.6, if a patch from 3.2 fixes it. Please reopen or comment if mistaken.
