It doesn't have any open network connections, so I'm not waiting for a remote
machine; it doesn't have any system load so I'm not waiting for processing;
the hard disk is (largely) idle, so I'm not waiting for i/o, but I am still
waiting!
How can I make it stop me
Hi,
Sometimes (not always) when I do a 'portupgrade', it takes _ages_ to "update
the ports index", without actually placing any noticeable load on the system.
In ports/UPDATING, it says (of make index) "This may take an undesirably long
time.". That would be fine, *if it were doing any work*.
