Description Gary E. Miller 2014-08-27 03:03:17 UTC

app-portage/eix-0.25.5 and app-portage/eix-0.30.3 break puppet.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run this command:

 /usr/bin/eix --nocolor --pure-packages --format '<category> <name> [<installedversions:LASTVERSION>] [<bestversion:LASTVERSION>] <homepage> <description>' --exact --category-name dev-db/mariadb

Actual Results:  
# /usr/bin/eix --nocolor --pure-packages --format '<category> <name> [<installedversions:LASTVERSION>] [<bestversion:LASTVERSION>] <homepage> <description>' --exact --category-name dev-db/mariadb
Received SIGSEGV - you probably found a bug in eix.
Please proceed with the following few instructions and help us find the bug:
 * install gdb (sys-dev/gdb)
 * reemerge eix with FEATURES="nostrip" USE="debug"
   or with FEATURES="nostrip" CXXFLAGS="-g -ggdb3" LDFLAGS=""
 * enter gdb with "gdb --args eix your_arguments_for_eix"
 * type "run" and wait for the segfault to happen
 * type "bt" to get a backtrace (this helps us a lot)
 * post a bugreport and be sure to include the output from gdb ..

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks in advance!
dev-db mariadb 

Expected Results:  
 #  /usr/bin/eix --nocolor --pure-packages --format '<category> <name> [<installedversions:LASTVERSION>] [<bestversion:LASTVERSION>] <homepage> <description>' --exact --category-name dev-db/mariadb

Maybe best to just make app-portage/eix-0.30.3  stable?

Comment 1 Martin Väth 2014-08-27 17:21:26 UTC

Does the segfault also occur with eix-0.30.3?
(I cannot reproduce this here with eix-0.30.3, and I will not debug old versions.)

LASTVERSION is not a variable defined by eix, so I guess the segfault is a dupe of bug 483392 which was fixed in eix-0.29.4.

If the segfault does not occur with eix-0.30.3: the plan is to make that version stable after the usual period of no bug reports.

Sorry, my bug report was backwards.  0.25.5 and 0.30.3 work for me.  0.29.3 does not.

As expected.  Sorry for the extra work by my incorrect wording.

Likely, I'll look.

Which was also my recommendation in my bug report here.  The sooner the
better for me, not good to have a bad version at the top of stable.
