Description Chenyu Zhao 2008-09-13 20:44:17 UTC

$ emerge -j999 app-emulation/virtualbox-ose

The emerge just freezes because it prompts the user to accept a Terms of Use.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to emerge anything that prompts the user with the --jobs option enabled

Actual Results:  
The load just freezes

Expected Results:  
The emerge to complete successfully :)

Easy workaround is to simply take out the --jobs option when emerging
