when I try to emerge: clamav-0.75.1.ebuild clamav-0.80.ebuild clamav-0.80_rc3.ebuild The system will only download the src package and test the md5 on src. No unpacking or compiling takes place and a pwconv process will reside in memory using 99.8 % of CPU. The output of the emerge process is rather unsiginifcant: emerge app-antivirus/clamav Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) app-antivirus/clamav-0.75.1 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) clamav-0.75.1.tar.gz After I kill the emerge process the pwconv process disappears. my workaround was to uncomment the pwconv line in the ebuild itself and merge the ebuild directly out of the portage tree. I use shadow version 4.0.4.1-r3 (which provides pwconv) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
What happens when you run pwconv as root from shell?
Seems to be a pwconv issue. I will check this and cancel this bugreport. Sorry for that guys.
