Bug #659348 causes beets to not work _at all_. It needs to be patched in order to work properly on Gentoo now. Pretty frustrating sudden breakage due to some vulnerability in YAML parsing.

This was fixed but no new version has been released. Bernardo, until this is fixed, you can download https://github.com/beetbox/beets/commit/be12a89372b96c1502733a4d1ade45e1deecd5f9.patch into /etc/portage/patches/media-sound/beets-1.4.7/ and re-emerge beets.
Louis' patch from upstream seems to fix it. I've tested it with the following code paths: `beet upd` `beet mbsync` `beet absubmit`
Is the Sound team active? As you can see in the tracker bug, the immediate fix for this is trivial and there hasn't been any activity related to this bug yet. This package will end up masked for removal if it doesn't fix its pyyaml usage.
