[gentoo-user] Emerge is "Waiting for lirc_client.o.lock to be removed"

2006-01-12 Thread Drew Tomlinson

[gentoo-user] ivtv 5.1 From Portage?

It was suggested to me on the MythTV list to upgrade from 0.4 to 0.5.0 or 0.5.1. However after running 'emerge --sync', portage still show 0.4.0-r2 as the latest version. I have it unmasked with the '~x86' in package.keywords so I assume this is the latest version in the normal portage tree.
