genlop throws up the following when used with the -c parameter.

Goes on for a long time before it spits out a ETA...I think this started happening after Portage 2.0.50-r9 or so..
Comment 1 Andreas Kobara 2004-09-29 01:58:03 UTC 
remove the warnings in /usr/bin/genlop
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
to
#!/usr/bin/perl
The output of genlop -c is wrong anyway. (ETA)
Comment 2 Boris 2004-10-15 01:52:54 UTC 
This happens because genlop is using /tmp/sandboxpids.tmp to get the PIDs of current merges and then gets the comandline from /proc/$PID/cmdline.
But Portage changed its behavior so genlop can no longer get the current package-name from this file.

Anyway, genlop is not maintained by the Gentoo-Devs, so you should contact upstream to get this fixed. (see Bug #58473)
Comment 3 Giorgio Mandolfo 2004-10-21 14:42:09 UTC 
This bug is a duplicate of 58473 and I already fixed it (although not released a fixed version of genlop).

I think it is time for a little update. I will do that asap.

.. and, sorry for double posting, this bug is not related with portage's newer versions (>=2.0.51-rc1). 

That issue is filed as bug n
