When I try to emerge glibc-2.3.1-r4, on both of my systems (athlon and pentium4), the install process hangs at the following line: mv -f /var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.1-r4/work/glibc-2.3.1/buildhere/stdlib/stamp.oST /var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.1-r4/work/glibc-2.3.1/buildhere/stdlib/stamp.oS Disabling the distcc and ccache features lets the emerge process finish succesfully. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. add distcc and ccache to the portage features 2. emerge glibc 3. Actual Results: the install process hangs at the line: mv -f /var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.1-r4/work/glibc-2.3.1/buildhere/stdlib/stamp.oST /var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.1-r4/work/glibc-2.3.1/buildhere/stdlib/stamp.oS cpu usage drops to zero Expected Results: upgrade glibc Portage 2.0.47-r10 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.2, glibc-2.3.1-r2) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-gentoo-r1 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1500MHz GENTOO_MIRRORS=" http://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/ftp/mirror/gentoo/" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" USE="x86 oss 3dnow apm avi crypt cups encode gif jpeg libg++ mikmod mmx mpeg ncurses nls pdflib png quicktime spell truetype xml2 xmms xv zlib gtkhtml gdbm berkdb slang readline arts aalib nas bonobo svga ggi tcltk java guile X sdl gpm tcpd pam libwww ssl python esd imlib oggvorbis qt kde motif opengl scanner acpi cdr dga directfb doc dvd fbcon -gnome gphoto2 -gtk matrox mozilla mysql perl pic postgres samba sse tetex tiff usb wmf xfs" COMPILER="gcc3" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" MAKEOPTS="-j3" AUTOCLEAN="yes" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" FEATURES="sandbox distcc ccache"
Hi, I forgot to update the bug, but the problem wasn't afterall with the glibc ebuild. I experienced the problem later with a few other ebuilds and it turned out it was metalog that was hanging. After aplying the metalog-patch from bug #8607 the problem was solved. Sam
