--jobs applies to the compilation phase of emerge. You can see that it is |
| 12 |
only ever installing one package at a time, so it is not surprising that |
| 13 |
the same applies to uninstalling. It makes sense, at least from the |
| 14 |
install perspective, portage checks for file collisions, if two packages |
| 15 |
tried to install the same file concurrently, it wouldn't be able to deal |
| 16 |
with the collision. |
