Bug 290682 – If PORTAGE_BINHOST points to https:// resource (no auth) portage will segfault

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Alexander Dubov 2009-10-27 05:01:43 UTC]

If "getbinpkg" is requested and BINHOST_PORTAGE points at https:// resource, portage will just crash before doing anything useful. This happens to multiple emerge versions in both 2.1 and 2.2_rcX series. http:// resources work fine.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set BINHOST_PORTAGE to point to https://..
2. Enjoy


Actual Results:  
> emerge -dpv portage
myaction None
myopts {'--pretend': True, '--debug': True, '--verbose': True, '--getbinpkg': True, '--usepkg': True}

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies

myparams {'recurse': True}

Segmentation fault

Expected Results:  
Either just work or, at least, complain about an unsupported access method.

Is python built with USE=ssl enabled? Maybe try rebuilding openssl and python.

Yep.
It seems, rebuilding the python solved the problem.
Sorry for the noise.

No problem.
