running "glsa-check --list" or "glsa-check --fix all" it gives a bunch of errors pretaning to xml and ends in ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (initpyexpat) see below for full error output Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. chrooted into new install 2. emerge rsync; emerge world 3. glsa-check --list Actual Results: frozen / # glsa-check --fix all WARNING: This tool is completely new and not very tested, so it should not be used on production systems.

remove pyxml and try again.
okay that worked, but there's why should i be forced not to have pyxml installed to do this. this is still a bug.
Sure, just wanted to confirm that it's caused by pyxml, nearly all (technical) problems with glsa-check are caused by it. Python people, any clue if that package is broken or am I doing something wrong in glsa.py?
