Assuming that the system is set up to run parallel jobs, you have 71 updates. That's quite a lot. Maybe the first one is some really basic package in @system upon which the other 70 depend (directly or indirectly). Portage must complete the first fully in that case, then proceed. Or, that first job is portage itself. It makes sense that portage updates should be done in isolation. -- Alan McKinnnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
