Hi, sorry...I seem to have missed this comment. This package works for me and other people that I have asked to confirm this bug. If anyone finds something wrong (with a fix) please let me know. Thanks for understanding.
I did hit this bug rarely before, but not since 0.3.2{,-r1} afaik. Have you tried that version?

Hit the same issue with iotop-0.4. In order to work it needs some kernel counters in /proc/vmstat. Enable CONFIG_VM_EVENT_COUNTERS in kernel configuration. Probably ebuild needs additional CONFIG_CHECK entry.
nice find, thanks for the follow-up
Created attachment 233611 [details, diff] patch from Debian Here is a patch from Debian that detects the lack of CONFIG_VM_EVENT_COUNTERS in the kernel config and fails gracefully instead of crashing. As an added bonus it prevents iotop from whining about requirements that are available.
Hi, can you please test this with iotop-0.4.1 in tree, thank you. It should die with an decent message like gauss linux # iotop Could not run iotop as some of the requirements are not met: - Linux >= 2.6.20 with - VM event counters (CONFIG_VM_EVENT_COUNTERS)
Reassigning to new maintainer.
should be fixed sufficiently
