Bug 79884 – repoman segfaults

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED INVALID

[Description Markus Rothe (RETIRED) 2005-01-28 12:38:49 UTC]

Hi,  I just ran repoman in dev-lang/f2c and it segfaults. It doesn't segfault
in other directories!?

###########################################
markus@G5 ~/cvs.gentoo.org/gentoo-x86/dev-lang/f2c $ repoman scan

We're not in PORTDIR... setting to: /home/markus/cvs.gentoo.org/gentoo-x86

RepoMan scours the neighborhood...
Segmentation fault
markus@G5 ~/cvs.gentoo.org/gentoo-x86/dev-lang/f2c $
############################################

I realy don't know how to debug this... Hope someone can help.

Markus

That's either a sandbox problem... Which you can just remerge portage.
Or python (or a system module) is broken.

FEATURES="-sandbox" emerge portage

solar@simple f2c $ repoman scan
# does not segfault in this dir for me with
Portage 2.0.51-r15 (hardened/x86, gcc-3.3.4, glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r0, 2.4.29 i686)

what does 'gdb --core=/path/to/core ; bt' say?

Created attachment 49766 [details]
strace-output

"bt" gives me only this: #0 0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()

but here comes the strace-output

something bad in my environment.. repoman operates normal on ppc64 systems in this
directory. (bad mix of stable and ~ packages, or something like that)

Marking as INVALID
