I was getting a lot of these a week or so ago. I also noted a fair number of portage/emerge zombie processes showing up in top, and some others that just hung for no good reason. A workaround was to make sure no emerges were still running then 'killall emerge' and retry. That worked. Meanwhile, since a portage update in the last few days the bug hasn;t shown up again for me. alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
