Description Evan Teran 2012-06-14 20:37:10 UTC
I don't know if this is an amd64 issue (perhaps involving the emul-linux-x86-* libs) or if the new skype is just generally this unstable. I can log in, but after a few moments, if I open up certain chat dialogs or receive messages from people. It just aborts or seg faults. I doubt that the backtrace will be particularly helpful (since skype is closed source and strips all symbols), but I'll include it anyway.

What version of x11-libs/qt-gui?

> What version of x11-libs/qt-gui?

Sorry, I obviously meant app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-qtlibs version since you are on amd64.

i have a blocking by gegl.

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

@Samuli Suominen: my emul-linux-x86-* libs are all at version 20120520. I forget which package, but ebuild i wanted unmasked, also required them so I needed to unmask them as well.

gegl?

This is normal Portage output telling you that skype-call-recorder-0.8.ebuild from the overlay called "lokal" is broken with USE depend for non-existing USE flag called "qt-static"

Anyway, this is not the place for support with Portage usage... Try http://forums.gentoo.org/ instead.
Comment 7 Blake Tyra 2012-06-16 20:51:38 UTC
Sounds very similar to previously reported instability:

indeed

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 363655 ***
Comment 9 Evan Teran 2012-06-19 04:29:46 UTC
I'm not sure I would consider it a duplication. That bug is clearly referring to version 2.2.x. This bug is about 4.0.x.

Also, unlike the previous bug, I see no evidence in my issue that it is related to the sound libraries.

Comment 10 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-06-19 05:44:27 UTC
Marked it duplicate for the reasoning mentioned in Comment #0:
"I doubt that the backtrace will be particularly helpful (since skype is closed source and strips all symbols)"

These type of bugs should go to the upstream bug tracking system for binary-only blobs, nothing we can do about it within ebuild which in the end doesn't do much else than copy the files from the .tar.bz2 to the filesystem.

If you want something to be tracked also here, then the "See also: " or "URL: " field should be pointing to the upstream bug accordingly.

With that said, anyone stumbling here looking for solution, it's propably worth to rm -rf ~/.Skype if you are upgrading from 2.x to 4.x.
