media-sound/pianobar-2019.02.14 segfault after successful login to Pandora network with that patch. The issue remains there even if I recompile pianobar.

Pianobar just work fine with dev-libs/json-c-0.14-r1

No need to file a bug for pianobar. json-c-0.14-r3 with object-limitation.patch fixed the issue observed.

That was just for the broken versions (0.14-r1, 0.14-r2), it seems

Sorry, do you mean by cleanup drop all older verions as well or? :)

No need for apologies! I'd rather people ask :)
Yeah, please drop all older versions now because they are vulnerable.

Thanks, I like to ask just to make sure :)
Hmm, as I can see right now, net-libs/libhubbub-0.3.5-r1 depends on <dev-libs/json-c-0.13
Comment 25 Jakov Smolić archtester gentoo-dev 2020-05-20 19:02:07 UTC
It seems that there are some QA problems due to old ebuils being removed. I've opened up a new keywording request.
