One of the updates several months ago (not sure which one, however I suspect X libraries) has caused x11-misc/bbkeys to stop being prelinkable on (at least) amd64 and x86 platforms. Right after emerging the ebuild, /usr/bin/bbkeys starts fine; however, as soon as prelink is run trying to start the program results in a segmentation fault. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure your system is up-to-date. 2. Emerge x11-misc/bbkeys and verify that the program runs correctly 3. Run 'prelink -amR' or wait for it to be executed by cron 4. Try to start bbkeys again 5. Re-emerge x11-misc/bbkeys, see that the program works again Actual Results: bbkeys dies with a segmentation fault right after start-up Tested on several amd64 and one x86 box, with identical results. In each case only stable keywords have been accepted by default, except for bbkeys itself on amd64 (no stable version exists for that platform). The problem can be worked around by marking /usr/bin/bbkeys as not-to-be-modified for prelink. From the point of view of an ebuild, this can be done by having it create a file in /etc/env.d/ containing the line PRELINK_PATH_MASK="/usr/bin/bbkeys"
Thanks for the report and the suggested fix, assigning to maintainers.
