Coming from #916707: Running parallel jobs: emerge -auUDtv world --keep-going --with-bdeps\=y --jobs\=8 --load-average\=25 I see >>> Jobs: 12 of 14 complete, 2 running Load avg: 16.0, 18.9, 19.3 So 2 jobs running in parallel. Asking genlop about the jobs: genlop -c using logfile /var/log/emerge.log using logfile /var/log/emerge.log.1.bz2 Currently merging 12 out of 14 * net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.42.1-r600 current merge time: 2 hours, 9 minutes and 36 seconds. ETA: 2 hours, 38 minutes and 23 seconds. Currently merging 12 out of 14 * net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.42.1-r600 current merge time: 2 hours, 9 minutes and 36 seconds. ETA: 2 hours, 38 minutes and 8 seconds. As there is no real emerge monitor I checked watch -d find /var/tmp/portage/ -mmin -1 and found /var/tmp/portage/net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.42.1-r410... and /var/tmp/portage/net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.42.1-r600... So it rather seems that emerge is working on 2 different slots and both qlop and genlop are wrong. Reproducible: Always
