n addition to the usual problem packages others have called out, the main problem I ran into was heat dissipation: the X220 chassis is so small that railing the CPU at 100% for hours on compiles was pushing the temperature over 90 degrees celsius. I disassembled the laptop and applied new high quality thermal paste to the CPU/heatsink and it seems to be doing a little better now. cal

I'm not sure what causes that message in particular, but it seems like kglobalaccel is causing the problem by pulling in a bunch of 5.82.0 deps causing a slot conflict. cal

or you could try to make the dev-python/pip package support the python2_7 target, or you could download the source from python.org and configure/build it yourself into a separate directory. However, it is probably worth first checking if there is a release of the software you want to use that supports Python 3 instead. cal

even after the copy command completes. On the first machine, you would still see the correct md5sum because the kernel abstracts this fact away from you. But if you rip out the drive and take it somewhere else without flushing those caches, you're going to get an incomplete file. Check if the file on the drive still md5sums the same if you plug it back into the first machine. Check what size it is, and whether there are a lot of 0s at the end indicating an unfinished write. cal
