the problem comes down to dead emerge processes and remaining lockfiles. |

Perhaps we should make an emaint module to search for and fix these. |

It should be easy enough. |

I had something similar after messing around with the '--jobs' option. No emerge would run after that. |

When I went to clear out /var/tmp/portage, I discovered a lockfile. |

Ran lsof and found an orphaned emerge. Killed it and emerges started running properly again. |
