Hi there,
something went wrong during a previous update and now revdep-rebuild
will kind-of freeze around 30%. When it freezes like that, the
hosting company shows one of it's CPU core is used at 100% non-stop
and the rest is idle. I have tried `emerge -e world` and with system,
they all fail similarly.
I managed to reconfigure it to have a working console and started
the `emerge -e system` from the console. After a while it froze, but
typed a ctrl-z to suspend the process, then %% to resume it and it
"unlocked" it. It often hung like in between two phases of the emerge
process (like after unpacking source, or just before doing the
install, etc). I was able to resume the emerge like that a good dozen
times until now, and now it's really locked, not responding at all...
seems like all 4 cores are used at 100%.
It hung while emerging perl and I've included the output on the
console below so you can see exactly where it hung. I will now force
a reboot on it and retry emerging just perl, I will reply to the list
with my results of that.

Have you enabled python3 by any chance? eselect python list should show
2.6 as the active python.
Just a thought. Someone else did this the other day and had troubles.
