Bug 299556 – net-im/skype-2.1.0.47: segmentation fault at startup

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 299368
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Tassilo Horn 2010-01-04 07:44:03 UTC]

Since I upgraded to net-im/skype-2.1.0.47, it won't start anymore.  All I get is:

% /usr/bin/skype
zsh: segmentation fault  /usr/bin/skype

I install it with USE="-qt-static", but even with +qt-static I get a segfault.

I've ran it with strace, and the log is attached.

Reproducible: Always

Yeah, search before opening new bugs.

I'm really sorry, but searching for "skype segmentation fault" resulted (and still results) in no match, and I didn't think about the abbreviation.  IMHO, a bug summary shouldn't use abbreviations, especially when the summary is basically only an error message.  This would make searching much easier, especially for non-native speakers.
