stable pam wouldn't compile, so I installed unstable, commented the entries in package.keywords and then tried to emerge again to get a log of stable's compile failure: [xenon] ~ # ROOT=/srv/chroot/arm-linux-gnueabi PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT=/srv/chroot/arm-linux-gnueabi /usr/bin/emerge -vp pam These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies \Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 8773, in <module> retval = emerge_main() File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 8767, in emerge_main myopts, myaction, myfiles, spinner) File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 8039, in action_build retval, favorites = mydepgraph.select_files(myfiles) File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 2822, in select_files self.altlist() File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 3585, in altlist self._serialized_tasks_cache = self._serialize_tasks() File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 3952, in _serialize_tasks if skip: UnboundLocalError: local variable 'skip' referenced before assignment [xenon] ~ # ROOT=/srv/chroot/arm-linux-gnueabi PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT=/srv/chroot/arm-linux-gnueabi /usr/local/bin/emerge -vp pam These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Created attachment 152503 [details, diff] patch showing missing variable initialization patch to initialize 'skip' before it is used, same as is done in the preceding blocks.
