Description Chris Schmerl 2004-10-21 04:10:33 UTC

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)

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.
