[GLLUG] emerge freezing up and Good Anti-virus software

[Seth Bembeneck]

This is being done through an ssh connection.

Output when I type in 'emerge sendmail':

www root # emerge sendmail
<cursor is here>

Just found this out, press control+c while the above is up and I get:

www root # emerge sendmail

end output.

emerge.log -> view at: http://sdbnetworks.net/emerge.txt

Any other info that would be helpful?

Thanks,

Seth:

If you use the -p switch to emerge, it will "pretend" to emerge the
package(s). This is an easy way to see what will actually get installed
if you decide to emerge the package. No actual work is done though. You
might try running the mirrorselect tool if you have it already
installed. It sounds to me like you may be having problems with the
downloads of the ebuilds. But I may be way off base as the emerge should
eventually time out and come back to a command prompt. If you can get a
screenshot of what happens or a copy of the emerge logs and send that to
me, I will take a look and see if I can spot anything else. You also
might try searching the gmane.org archives from the gentoo-user mailing
list and see if there is anything there that might help as well. Good
luck and happy Gentooing! (Hopefully!)
