Updating my FreeBSD VM again, I captured one of the error messages that's |
| 27 |
leading to these orphaned ecompressdir processes: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
/usr/lib/portage/python3.5/ebuild-helpers/ecompressdir: cannot make pipe for |
| 30 |
process substitution: File exists |

And a second one: |

Not sure the exact cause. Any additional info I can provide? |
