Should= =20 I worry about it? I saw it once before but have no clue whether it's=20 portage/emerge itself outputting it (I would guess yes, QA warning??), or= =20 one of the build processes. I'm guessing it's a warning from portage's newer parallel jobs processing= =20 that you guys may be interested in (a bug to trace down? file it?? any=20 other info beyond the below that would be useful? how to duplicate?=20 etc.) but don't know and obviously haven't the foggiest how serious it=20 is. But it didn't cause anything to barf, so I figured it couldn't be=20 too bad. But it's still worrying not knowing what it is, when it's=20 obviously important enough to break the parallel jobs enforced=20 backgrounding. ~amd64/2008.0/no-multilib, portage-2.2_rc25 (now, previously with a=20 different _rc) Would you like to merge these packages?
