Hello, On a 586 machine, 600 MHz, 128 meg of ram. python-updater just sits: * Starting Python Updater from 2.4 to 2.5 :
and never completes. I tried several times, same result. The machine only an infrequently used web server, serving up about 6 static content web pages. Does python-updater require more ram to run? the machine is minamalistic, it runs apache2 and not much else. I did recently switch the profile to 2008. but is has had 2 emerge -u world updates (along with emerge sync). I've even run revdep-rebuild and emerge -p --update --deep --with-bdeps=y world' which comes back clean. These 2 lines of top are suspicious to me: 5513 root 20 0 1648 428 348 D 0.0 0.3 0:00.10 scanelf 5514 root 20 0 0 0 0 Z 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 python-update <defunct> bugs.gentoo.org does not reveal anything useful. thoughts and ideas are most welcome? James
