I've been seeing it for a long time. I even filed a bug report, which |
| 16 |
vapier confirmed and he renamed my bug report "ebuild spends too much |
| 17 |
time polling ${obscure-socket-name}". |

I just looked for the bug report but I can't find it. Eventually the |
| 20 |
problem went away and I assumed he fixed it, but maybe not -- your |
| 21 |
problem seems identical. |

|
| 23 |
Come to think of it, maybe the problem disappeared because I've been |
| 24 |
using libreoffice-4 for quite a while now, and lo-4 never had that |
| 25 |
bug. |

Or maybe some old update of portage fixed the problem for me, dunno. |
