yup, this happens when you're running a cvs moonbase and want to test 
your changes. Lin will try to recreate the depends cache on the fly, 
which happens in a backgrounded process first (don't ask me why, 
Ihaven't had the time to trace it back)...

Anyway I'm aware of the problem. THere's 2 things to keep in mind here:

1) it only happens to devs (so normal users will never get this)
2) just let it pass, it should end (break perhaps) but if you retry the 
command it should work

thinking of a solution to speed things up when [ $MOONBASE != 
/var/lib/lunar/moonbase ] .... none found

seeya,
