[gentoo-user] Re: VPS has issues emerging everything

[Simon]

I re-emerged perl and it hung a few lines above my previous issue I
copied in prev email.  But I was able to ctrl-z+%% to unfreeze it.
I'm not sure what to do now since the problem is still there...

I'm not sure what critical package deal most with the ability to check
for dependencies (revdep-rebuild was freezing, this one froze while
finding dependencies)... if anyone has a guess, I'll try rebuilding
that pkg and the winner gets a genuine 100$ of monopoly money.
