I'm getting SIGSEGV when i'm typing following: eix adobe-flash --format '<bestversion:depend>' The complete error is: Received SIGSEGV - you probably found a bug in eix. Please proceed with the following few instructions and help us find the bug: * install gdb (sys-dev/gdb) * reemerge eix with FEATURES="nostrip" USE="debug" or with FEATURES="nostrip" CXXFLAGS="-g -ggdb3" LDFLAGS="" * enter gdb with "gdb --args eix your_arguments_for_eix" * type "run" and wait for the segfault to happen * type "bt" to get a backtrace (this helps us a lot) * post a bugreport and be sure to include the output from gdb .. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks in advance! Interestingly this doesn't happen if i compile eix with FEATURES="nostrip" and USE="debug" which i suppose todo to create an backtrace. Sadly, that's why i can't provide an backtrace or at least one which might be useless.. with debug-symbols: GNU gdb (Gentoo 7.5.1 p2) 7.5.1 Copyright (C) 2012 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

For whatever it's worth, this appears to be fixed in version 0.29.6, which is currently in ~amd64. Additionally, I can confirm that the same error occurs in 0.29.3 on x86 (i.e., it is not confined to amd64).
This is probably bug 483392 which was fixed in eix-0.29.4 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 483392 ***
