After a few tries "emerge -1 pth-2.0.7-r1" finished successfully :) The only thing I did was close the xterm windows and firefox and open a new xterm window.
I don't see how this is possible as the patch at files/pth-2.0.6-sigstack.patch make this test do nothing.
Can you reproduce this?
No! All seems to be working fine. Must have been something on my side I am unaware of...
No... This is unmaintained (upstream) and problematic package... :)
