when trying to re-emerge portage-2.0.49-r3 on hardened gentoo system with kernel 2.4.20-hardened-r4 it gives me a segmenation fault in merge stage: >>> /usr/lib/portage/bin/regenworld.sh >>> /usr/lib/portage/bin/repoman >>> /usr/lib/portage/bin/xpak Segmentation fault This is only in case when a python-selinux module is installed if I unmerge that python-selinux and try emerge portage --nodeps portage is emerged with some strange errors Recalculating the counter... Counter updated successfully. >>> Clearing invalid entries in dependancy cache...grep: Invalid regular expression wc: write error: Broken pipe wc: write error: Broken pipe .... wc: write error: Broken pipe wc: write error: Broken pipe ...done! >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... >>> sys-apps/portage-2.0.49-r3 merged. but in case when python-selinux is not installed and I issue a ACCEPT_KEYWORDS='~x86' emerge portage which emerge python-selinux module first and then portage itself all works as expected without errors Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

i am unable to reproduce this you can disable the selinux module either by unmerging python-selinux or just deleting /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/selinux.so so it won't try and load but so that i can get a grasp on this problem i'd like a gdb backtrace and if possible an strace of the segfault, thanks
Strange... I can reproduce this every time yesterday i started clean install without using ~x86. This way only unstable packages in my system are sys-apps/selinux-small-2003040709-r4 dev-python/python-selinux-1.2 dev-python/pexpect-0.97 no changes ... i can't get backtrace log ... gw root # gdb /usr/bin/python2.2 core GNU gdb 5.3 Copyright 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

have you tried upgrading kernel versions? Also, are there any suspicious messages in when you run dmesg? If so, please paste.
ow, this bug report is very, very old. it was a problem in python-selinux module which is resolved
