Thanks for the reply, Alan. |

My hard drive space is adequate with at least 50% space available on the |
4 |
partition where /var lives. |

There are 2 versions of python installed but 2.6.5-r1 is the active one. |

dev-lang/python: 2.6.5-r1, 3.1.2-r2 |

The Portage version is 2.1.8.3. |

I have attached results of my emerge --info for reference also. |
12 |
|
13 |
I am very perplexed about this especially since I had not made any changes to |
14 |
my systems. Recall that this happened to all 3 of my Gentoo installs, not on |
15 |
just one. One install is on a different computer. The 2 on the same computer |
16 |
use different partitions. |
17 |
|
18 |
I estimate the problem began about 2 weeks ago, but I can't be sure. I am |
19 |
aware that not all emerged packages generate error, log or warn messages. I |
20 |
just realized that nothing was being written to /var/log/portage/elog on any |
21 |
of my 3 Gentoo installs. Then I noticed that duplicate emerge logs were being |
22 |
written to /var/log/portage for each package that was emerge with # uNDv |
23 |
world. I had never seen that before. |
24 |
|
25 |
I suspect that some package that was emerged approximately 2 weeks ago has |
26 |
caused this change, but I still haven't found what has happened. If this were |
27 |
only on one of my Gentoo installs, I would suspect something with that |
28 |
computer. But when I update with -uNDv world, I do it on all 3 the same day. |
29 |
Now all 3 have the same identical problem. |
30 |
|
31 |
For what it is worth, I am the only one with access to these computers so I |
32 |
know it is nothing I have done. I must have missed some message or warning. |
33 |
|
34 |
Also, when I do the # emerge -uNDv world, and the emerge finishes, there are |
35 |
no errors reported in the Terminal - just a clean finish. |
36 |

I have seen some posts on the forums about people having problems with this: |
38 |
|
39 |
PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save mail" |
40 |
|
41 |
However, I don't use mail there - my entry in /etc/make.conf is: |
42 |
|
43 |
PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save" |
44 |
|
45 |
I wonder if this could be a portage issue - maybe I should downgrade to a |
46 |
previous portage version. |
47 |
|
48 |
This is all very strange to me. |

Thanks again. |
