as soon as I have seen that the version 1.1.0.13 broke out my box, and that the service was not usable anymore, I stopped upgrading my Gentoo boxes. Here is my workaround: echo ">net-im/skype-1.1.0.3" >> /etc/portage/package.mask emerge skype so that I can downgrade to 1.1.0.3. I tried to manually install the official version from skype.com, and it bugs on both computers. (In reply to comment #1) > echo ">net-im/skype-1.1.0.3" >> /etc/portage/package.mask > emerge skype This is VERY wrong. This way you will never again see that there are updates to skype. If you have problems with a particular version you should mask THAT version: echo "=net-im/skype-1.1.0.13" >> /etc/portage/package.mask As for the bug there is not much i can do as it does not seem gentoo related Looks like a duplicate of bug 65042... no it is not 65042 65042 it the segfault when using the wrapper. I had that bug long time ago, then I switched to non wrapped OSS. my actual bug is a segfault WITHOUT wrapper !!! I am aware that my workaround is VERY VERY dirty, but I nedded a very quick fix at once, within 1h. When I have time next week, I may remove my mask, and check whethen newer version correct this or not. I did not have time by that day to just mask the buggy version, and downgrade to previous one ... and then to previous one if it did not work ... until falling down to a sufficiently old and working one. I masked down at once to a version I knew to work. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 81255 *** https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95598#c4 says: > no it is not 65042 > 65042 it the segfault when using the wrapper. I had that bug long time ago, then I switched to non wrapped OSS. > my actual bug is a segfault WITHOUT wrapper !!! thus this bug CAN NOT be a dup of https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81255 either. actual version net-im/skype-1.2.0.21-r1 works fine as OSS, so can close it (but cant close 'as dup of ARTS problem' ) |
