--jobs applies to the compilation phase of emerge. You can see that it is |
12 |
only ever installing one package at a time, so it is not surprising that |
13 |
the same applies to uninstalling. It makes sense, at least from the |
14 |
install perspective, portage checks for file collisions, if two packages |
15 |
tried to install the same file concurrently, it wouldn't be able to deal |
16 |
with the collision. |
