[gentoo-user] Update multiple failures

[Daniel Frey]

Well, I haven't been bitten for quite a while now (years)...

I have been doing updates to my mythtv frontends and I noticed this time 
around updating has been taking FOREVER. Something in this round of 
updates broke distcc (which worked the last update run.) In addition, I 
have multiple packages failing the same way:

This example is glib, but lirc failed the same way.

I don't know if the nonfunctioning distcc is causing these problem and 
searching for locking errors yields results from 2003 or so.

Anyone seen this? So far distcc has failed on all machines, and two 
machines have errors almost identical to the above.
