Description Cedric Vonck 2004-04-24 12:47:30 UTC

When I was doing an emerge kde in the root console (vc/1), I also did emerge vim in console 2 (vc/2).  When I killed the second emerge while it was downloading the sources, the first emerge (of kde) was also killed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. login as root, emerge something large
2. goto the second console, emerge something else
3. do a ctrl c => both emerge's are crashing

Actual Results:  
Both emerge's where killed.
They both exited with an error warning.

Expected Results:  
The software should only have killed the second instance of the emerge.

Err... no.
This isn't possible.  If you can duplicate it, reopen with details of *exactly* how you're managing this- basically, emerge instances don't really know of each other.  They only thing they know of is locks- that wouldn't cause both instances to die though.

On my Vmware installation with Gentoo 2004.2, Portage version (emerge --version) 2.0.50-r9 (gcc 3.3.3, glibc 2.3.3.20040420-r0, 2.4.20-gentoo-r9 kernel) I can kill on of both emerges in progress without the other one quiting.
