It's not just commands where access to the repo is needed. Even commands like search hangs. I think the makecache service is locking the database and hanging. Since it hangs, my interactive command waits for the lock to be released indefinitely. I can't prove this though, this is my hunch based on the symptoms I see. > I am not on a poor connection, either, but I am occasionally experiencing > this problem as well.

Simple search or clean commands should not hang if this was the reason. Thanks for the responses so far, any other thoughts? Cheers, -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
