I said emerge --info, still unsure if this is on hardened or not. Plus the paludis --info is for the old version, so it's unclear if you had USE=qt-static enabled or disabled in 2.1.0.47.
Created attachment 214938 [details] paludis --info skype This is paludis --info for the right version. I forgot that I had already downgraded to the working version (2.0.0.72) when creating the attachment above, I'm sorry! The qt-static useflag is disabled, it's not on hardened.
(In reply to comment #4) > The qt-static useflag is disabled, it's not on hardened. OK, so it's crashing on non-hardened amd64 with USE="-qt-static". Note that in old versions the qt-static is forced enabled, so you might want to retry with USE="qt-static" enabled in the new one too...

hi, i had same bug, so i asked my beta skype tester friend about it. Its a gentoo bug, not skype one. Gentoo while installation modifies skype binary and skype does not like it. check md5 sum of file installed and one from package. Here are few words from my friend from testers team. [17:14:45] Paul : funny question - does md5 of skype binary match the one in downloaded package? [17:15:11] shade: hmm, from skype hompage? I didnt check [17:15:15] Paul : because fedora has prelink which breaks binary [17:15:35] Paul : you install skype, it works until next prelink run (crontabbed) 2nd important part [17:29:00] Paul : skype binary has proprietary encryption so it won't work when modified [17:29:37] Paul : fedora rpm of skype even has rule file for prelink to exclude it [17:29:37] Shade: can i post you last line on that bug? [17:29:53] Paul : yes, and that about prelink rule file too [17:30:51] Paul : [stalwart@delta ~]$ cat /etc/prelink.conf.d/skype.conf -b /usr/bin/skype [17:31:27] Paul : check if you have prelink installed, and if you do - create this rulefile [17:31:38] shade: i dont have it installed [17:31:51] Paul : then you have something else that modifies binary
I'm having the same issue... anyone found out who is changing the binary?
Cyril, for now if you want realy to use that version, you can do it in dirty way, just unpack tar from distfiles and cp skype file to /usr/bin/skype.
Im sory Cyrill, i taped bad path in las post, you should copy skype binary to /opt/skype/skype. /usr/bin/skype is only wraper linking to /opt
Is this issue solved if you add RESTRICT="strip" to the ebuild?

(In reply to comment #13) > Is this issue solved if you add RESTRICT="strip" to the ebuild? > seems to work
PS: The installed binary and the unpacked binary (from skype-2.1.0.47.tar.bz2) do not differ if RESTRICT="mirror strip" is used (RESTRICT="mirror" was already there before): md5sum /opt/skype/skype ~igel/incoming/skype-2.1.0.47/skype a93e449b032e21cdbc43e3f903c46dc4 /opt/skype/skype a93e449b032e21cdbc43e3f903c46dc4 /home/igel/incoming/skype-2.1.0.47/skype
