Created attachment 515220 [details, diff] Convert "bad [map+length] substitution" to a simple length substitution This happens with bash-4.4, with bash-4.3 the issue is not present. I'd suppose 4.4 forbids that kind of "interesting" substitution. If I understand the code around that line 325 correctly, they are checking whether DIRArr length is same as the count of unique items of an array mapped from DIRArr containing only the last path parts of DIRArr elements. I guess the line 325 substitution tries to find out length of the array created with last path parts. Now, the both arrays should be same length if that length+map -substitution does nothing magic, thus the whole `map`-operation before taking array `length` should be useless. Attached patch converts the map+length -check to simple length-check, and thus far seems to work just fine. Should work on bash-4.3 too. # mkdir -p /etc/portage/patches/www-misc/profile-sync-daemon-5.45.1 Then copy the attached patch to that directory, and # emerge --oneshot =profile-sync-daemon-5.45.1 Ensure no browsers are running, and then # /etc/init.d/psd start (but that might complain that psd is already started -> check status ensuring that profile-sync-daemon itself says the daemon pid file is not present and zap if needed.)
please retry with 6.31
(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #2) > please retry with 6.31 Given the constraint that this must operate on OpenRC i.e. without systemd, 6.31 is not a viable option as it requires systemd to be present unconditionally: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/www-misc/profile-sync-daemon/profile-sync-daemon-6.31.ebuild#n21 and further detailed few lines after: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/www-misc/profile-sync-daemon/profile-sync-daemon-6.31.ebuild#n27
