After emerging galeon 1.2.5-r1 the install froze after merging the files. scrollkeeper-update was using all CPU. I killed and restarted it. Strace of scrollkeeper-update is [snip] read(4, "", 4096) = 0 brk(0x80b3000) = 0x80b3000 brk(0x80b4000) = 0x80b4000 brk(0x80b5000) = 0x80b5000 brk(0x80b6000) = 0x80b6000 read(4, "", 4096) = 0 brk(0x80b7000) = 0x80b7000 close(4) = 0 munmap(0x40028000, 4096) = 0 open("/var/lib/scrollkeeper/scrollkeeper_docs", O_RDONLY) = 4 fstat64(4, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 old_mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x40028000 read(4, 0x40028000, 4096) = -1 EISDIR (Is a directory) read(4, 0x40028000, 4096) = -1 EISDIR (Is a directory) read(4, 0x40028000, 4096) = -1 EISDIR (Is a directory) [forever] /var/lib/scrollkeeper/scrollkeeper_docs is in fact a directory. I have never noticed any problems like this before.
I just read alt.os.linux.gentoo. It was suggested to run scrollkeeper-rebuilddb After this scrollkeeper-update does not hang anymore on my system. I suggest marking this bug as fixed.
I haven't checked this, but maybe it would make sense to add that command to the scrollkeeper post-install script. I tried re-emerging scrollkeeper as a possible fix and it didn't help. Since I don't know what scrollkeeper is (and don't really need to) it would help if it were a little more self-maintaining. I think the average gentoo user will try emerging packages again as a first line of defense when trouble arises and this would probably fix this kind of problem. Again, I don't know anything about scrollkeeper, but I have to think that rebuilding the database on install can't hurt.
I have seen three or four ebuilds lock during the scrollkeeper update part at the end of the emerge. After seeing this thread I tried the scrollkeeper-rebuilddb and this is what I got: --- # scrollkeeper-rebuilddb Registering /usr/share/omf/gedit/gedit-C.omf Registering

I recently patched this to work, please check again.
