Hi, |

I have just experienced the "Red Star" trying to emerge ALSA on one of |
| 4 |
my Gentoo systems. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
The "Red Star" problem has the following symptoms: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
1. An emerge is executed |
| 9 |
2. The package is downloaded if required |
| 10 |
3. The checksum is calculated |
| 11 |
4. A mysterious red star "*" appears and nothing further happens |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I'm running portage 2.0.33 with GCC 2.95.3 and have read about other |
| 14 |
people having this problem emerging ALSA, Nvidia drivers and OpenOffice. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
My guess is that there might be a new bug somewhere in Portage 2.0.33. I |
| 17 |
have read some people have seen this in 2.0.32. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Does anyone have any insights to what is going on? I'm not a coding |
| 20 |
expert but I can certainly help out with testing. |
| 21 |

TIA |
