Has anyone ever seen the following strange behaviour?
While updating the system with emerge, after each installation of a
package, before it starts emerging the next one, it pauses for a minute
or two, then displays "alarm signal" (without the quotes) on a new line,
and continues to emerging the next package.
Here is an example:

>>> Emerging (2 of 9) perl-core/IPC-Cmd-0.760.0

Hi Thanasis,

this message is from emerge /portage:
grep -r "alarm signal" /usr/lib64/portage/*
Binary file /usr/lib64/portage/pym/portage/exception.pyo matches
Binary file /usr/lib64/portage/pym/portage/exception.pyc matches
/usr/lib64/portage/pym/portage/exception.py:            raise 
AlarmSignal("alarm signal",

This one matches your one minute:
/usr/lib64/portage/pym/portage/elog/mod_mail_summary.py:                        
AlarmSignal.register(60)

Look like a timeout during mail sending to me. You have probably elog 
mail sending configured in make.conf and your mailserver is borked.

HTH,

Matthias

You were right. I hadn't configured the /etc/mail/aliases file.
Thanks !
