I'm also seeing this from time to time - "emerge -Duvat world" just seems to take forever at the "Calculating world dependencies" after I ran "eix-sync" which includes "emerge --sync". And I haven't updated portage. Any ideas? You're still at portage-2.0.*? No. Portage 2.1.1_pre1-r1 The latest versions of those were known to be terribly slow at updating the cache. Sometimes. Just like the current version, it seems? :) Yesterday, it took about 30 Minutes to do "Calculating world dependencies". That *IS* slow. I don't think it's a missing "emerge --metadata", as the metadata generation is included when running "emerge --sync" (Updating Portage cache: 100%), isn't it? Hrrrm. Pardon? Yes it was a missing "emerge --metadata". Sure? What's done in the "Updating Portage cache" step? Why is "man emerge" saying, that --metadata is (sort of) run after a --sync? So, as I said, it's certainly not a missing --metadata run. What's causing emerge to be so terribly slow sometimes? It's also not a matter of load - I had nothing intensive running at this time, just emerge, firefox (no flash site shown), thunderbird. In top, emerge was shown as the most active process. You will see when you upgrade. Can't be done. This happened from time to time again for a long period now. And it happens with the current version.

No, because it is not necessary every time. It happened because you went from 2.0 to 2.1 and the metadata/cache format changed. Now you have 2.1 installed, you can set it to mail you the einfo messages, so you won't miss it next time. -- Neil Bothwick I've got a mind like a... a... what's that thing called? signature.asc Description: PGP signature

[gentoo-user] "Calculating world dependencies" taking forever first time
I did an "emerge --sync" on my main machine, followed by "emerge --ask --deep --update --world --fetchonly". It spent several minutes at "Calculating world dependencies", with the "spinner" very slowly moving. Eventually it ran. Subsequent calls to emerge ran at the usual speed I'm accustomed to. My main machine is an AMDK8 3000+, in 32bit mode, with 2 gigs of ram. My emergency backup machine is a 1999 Dell PIII, 450 mhz with 128 megs of ram. It's extremely painful on this one. The spinner takes about 2 or 3 seconds to move 45 degrees (1/8th of a full spin). Eventually it finishes after several minutes. Subsequent attempts run at the normal speed. Does it have to fill some sort of cache? I also notice USE flags in the outout. "-ip32r10k%" is in yellow, whatever that signifies...
