Bug 138096 – genlop-0.30.5 exhibits strange behaviour (endless loop, no working merge found)

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description Morten Cools 2006-06-26 12:21:22 UTC]

Today I was emerging two packages in two different bash sessions, when I tried running genlop -c from a third... Earlier it would output the two emerges and the remaining time for each, but this time it first entered a seemingly endless loop with the message:

Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/bin/genlop line 536, <_GEN_1> line 68336.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/bin/genlop line 541, <_GEN_1> line 68336.

I tried running it again (while the same two packages were emerging), and this time it gave me this error:

!!! Error: no working merge found.
(the -c option only works if there is an ongoing compilation, see manpage)

The second error seems to be related to bug 126837, but I am running portage-2.1.1_pre1-r2.

Is this bug still valid, I cannot reproduce this problem with "parallel" emerges... :-/

Get back to us if you can still reproduce it; I can't either.
