i recently updated to python-2.4.2 now applications like qtorrent or nicotine segfault immediately when i try to start them. I used python-updater before and after the update... when i tried to remerge qtorrent i got these results: # emerge qtorrent Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) net-p2p/qtorrent-0.9.6.1 to / >>> md5 files ;-) qtorrent-0.9.6.1-r1.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) qtorrent-0.9.5.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) qtorrent-0.9.6.1.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) files/qtorrent-0.9.6.1-sizetype.patch >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-qtorrent-0.9.6.1-r1 >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-qtorrent-0.9.6.1 >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-qtorrent-0.9.5 >>> md5 src_uri ;-) qtorrent-0.9.6.1.tar.bz2 >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking qtorrent-0.9.6.1.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/qtorrent-0.9.6.1/work >>> Source unpacked. >>> Test phase [not enabled]: net-p2p/qtorrent-0.9.6.1 >>> Install qtorrent-0.9.6.1 into /var/tmp/portage/qtorrent-0.9.6.1/image/ category net-p2p /usr/portage/net-p2p/qtorrent/qtorrent-0.9.6.1.ebuild: line 15: 6850 Segmentation fault python setup.py install --prefix=${D}/usr man: prepallstrip: strip: i686-pc-linux-gnu-strip --strip-unneeded >>> Completed installing qtorrent-0.9.6.1 into /var/tmp/portage/qtorrent-0.9.6. 1/image/ >>> Merging net-p2p/qtorrent-0.9.6.1 to / >>> Safely unmerging already-installed instance...
