Description Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

I upgraded to Portage 2.0.50-r9 in the last update. Now whenever I try and emerge something, Portage just hangs. For example.

emerge -uD world
Calculating world dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 7) sys-apps/texinfo-4.7 to /

Portage will sit there for hours on end.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -uD world
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Crash / Lock Up

Expected Results:  
Functional Portage

Turned out to be an NFS error. Would have been good if Portage reported that it was waiting on a file lock. But oh well.
