I managed to crash emerge while setting up a new system. The steps below produced the result, and re-running "emerge --resume" produced the crash also. However, after emerging libgnomeprint alone, everything worked, and I can no longer produce the crash. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge sync 2. add USE="~x86" to make.conf 3. emerge -avu xawtv mozilla-firefox inkscape gimp rhythmbox azureus-bin xine-ui gthumb totem tvtime Actual Results: >>> emerge (1 of 54) gnome-base/libgnomeprint-2.8.0.1 to / Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 2980, in ? mydepgraph.merge(portage.mtimedb["resume"]["mergelist"]) File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1830, in merge emergelog(" === ("+str(mergecount)+" of "+str(len(mymergelist))+") Cleaning ("+x[pkgindex]+"::"+y+")", short_msg=short_msg) Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r5 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 Binutils: sys-devel/binutils-2.15.92.0.2-r1 Headers: sys-kernel/linux26-headers-2.6.8.1-r1 Libtools: sys-devel/libtool-1.5.2-r7 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.osuosl.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X alsa apm arts avi berkdb bidi bitmap-fonts cdr crypt cups divx4linux doc dvd dvdread encode esd f77 fam foomaticdb fortran gdbm gdm gif gimpprint gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml imagemagick imlib java jpeg libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx motif mozilla mpeg ncurses network nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png ppds python quicktime readline sdl spell ssl svg svga tcpd tetex tiff truetype x86 xml2 xmms xv zlib"
I pasted the backtrace, but it seems the end got clipped off. I can no longer reproduce the crash, and I lost the message, however it was similar to this: Error comparing type "str" to type NULL.
ok
