Bug 72834 – libgnomeprint crashes emerge

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Brendan Chandler 2004-11-29 10:36:52 UTC]

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 ?

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.
