I've had similar happen to me on a few occasions. The first time when it didn't do anything in quite a while (minute or two) I re-ran the same command with debug (and possible under strace). Emerge would do its stuff then print "set +x" and hang. I think I eventually tracked it down to waiting on random data. Try copying some data in or out of the machine, preferable over a non-encrypted medium, or some fairly heavy disk i/o (emerge sync, emerge metadata, du -s), if you're logged in locally to the machine bash the keyboard and move the mouse a lot, to generate some entropy while waiting for emerge to do something. -- Mike Williams -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
