Bug 364855

Summary: media-libs/libvpx-0.9.6 gets stuck on future timestamps in gcc

Description N. Andrew Walsh 2011-04-25 20:59:12 UTC
[DEP] vpx/src/vpx_decoder_compat.c.d
    [DEP] vpx/src/vpx_decoder.c.d
make[1]: Warning: File `/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.2/include-fixed/limits.h' has modification time 13501 s in the future
    [DEP] vp8/decoder/x86/x86_dsystemdependent.c.d

that bit about modification times in the future causes this stage of the emerge (lots of lines with the [DEP] at the beginning) to repeat over and over. Forever. This is on a new system with ~amd64 and the latest snapshot.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install new system, get timestamps in the gcc subdirectories in the future
2. emerge libvpx
3. watch it go round and round
Actual Results:  
emerge gets stuck on the error, and keeps trying over and over

Expected Results:  
If incorrect timestamps is preventing the emerge from completing, it should fail gracefully.

Fix your clock before you start chrooting and installing? :)

The solution for you is to wait around 4 hours before you continue installing your favourite software.
