I have recently done a full deep update and am now trying to revdep-rebuild, however it is stuck on ntop with the configure line: checking for working fork... Also happens if I try a straight emerge of ntop. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.attempt to emerge ntop, or revdep-rebuild 2. 3. Actual Results: Hangs "checking for working fork..." Expected Results: emerge ntop correctly My machine crashed whilst performing the world update, not sure if this is related or not, I was unable to discover the cause of the crash. 502 17:31 $ sudo emerge --info ntop Portage 2.1.6.13 (default/linux/x86/2008.0, gcc-4.3.2, glibc-2.9_p20081201-r2, 2.6.30-gentoo-r5 i686) ================================================================= System Settings ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.30-gentoo-r5-i686-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_CPU_4400_@_2.00GHz-with-gentoo-1.12.11.1 Timestamp of tree: Mon, 24 Aug 2009 21:00:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.0_p28 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7-r1, 2.1.8-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r13, 2.5.4-r2, 2.6.2-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r8 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.4 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.0 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.27-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="en_GB.utf8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="en_GB en uk" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/layman/desktop-effects /usr/local/portage/jb /usr/portage/local/layman/desktop-effects /usr/local/portage/layman/THE /usr/local/portage/layman/haskell" SYNC="rsync://localhost:14040/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acl acpi alsa audiofile bash-completion beagle berkdb binary-drivers bzip2 calendar cjk cli cracklib crypt cups curl daap dbus directfb divx dmenu dri dvd dvdread fbcon fbcondecor ffmpeg firefox flac fortran ftp fuse galago gdbm gif gmail gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal ical iconv imap informix innodb insecure-savers ipod ipv6 isdnlog jabber jack java javascript jikes jpeg junit ldap libcaca libnotify lm_sensors mad matroska mime mmx mono mozdevelop mozilla mp3 mp4 mpeg mpeg4 msn mudflap musicbrainz ncurses nis nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin nvidia ogg ole opengl openmp oss pam pcre pdf perl png pop postgres pppd python qt3 qt4 quicktime readline realmedia reflection samba session skins spell spl sse sse2 ssl sysfs tcl tcltk tcpd thunderbird tk truetype type1 uk unicode usb vcd vim-syntax visualization vorbis wavpack win32codecs wma wmp wxwindows x86 xcomposite xine xinerama xml xorg xosd xscreensaver xvid xvmc zlib" ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel usb-audio" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse ps2mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en_GB en uk" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="vesa nvidia" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS ================================================================= Package Settings ================================================================= net-analyzer/ntop-3.3.9-r2 was built with the following: USE="ipv6 ssl tcpd"
Probably worth mentioning, I found a similar sounding bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=267053 I tried re-emerging sandbox, and using FEATURES=-sandbox, both to no avail.
Please provide build.log and config.log.
According to bug 267053 comments, downgrading sandbox to version 1.7 can be used as a workaround. Anyway this is not a ntop bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 267053 ***
