Here's what I get: Starting Python Updater from 2.4 to 2.5 : check "soname" enabled. check "pylibdir" enabled. check "eclass" disabled. check "manual" enabled. <then it hangs> > - Maybe the disks or filesystems have some problems or bit-rot after > having possibly been powered on 24/7 for a long time?

All else compiles and it runs fine, for long periods of time with no problems.

(no python whiz here). > - Does anything unusual appear in /var/log/messages or other logs? nope, just cron and syslog messages. Nothing out of the ordinary....
