Subject: [gentoo-user]  python-updater won't complete

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
