Subject: [gentoo-user] "Calculating world dependencies" taking forever first time
Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2006 10:45:22
Message-Id: 20060614103526.GB17293@waltdnes.org
1 I did an "emerge --sync" on my main machine, followed by
2 "emerge --ask --deep --update --world --fetchonly". It spent several
3 minutes at "Calculating world dependencies", with the "spinner" very
4 slowly moving. Eventually it ran. Subsequent calls to emerge ran at
5 the usual speed I'm accustomed to. My main machine is an AMDK8 3000+,
6 in 32bit mode, with 2 gigs of ram.

8 My emergency backup machine is a 1999 Dell PIII, 450 mhz with 128 megs
9 of ram. It's extremely painful on this one. The spinner takes about 2
10 or 3 seconds to move 45 degrees (1/8th of a full spin). Eventually it
11 finishes after several minutes. Subsequent attempts run at the normal
12 speed. Does it have to fill some sort of cache? I also notice USE
13 flags in the outout. "-ip32r10k%" is in yellow, whatever that
14 signifies...
