Solved [Solved] [pkg] Core dump upon repository building

[fonz]

In a build jail on a FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE-amd64 system:

# pkg repo -l /usr/ports/packages/All /usr/local/etc/ssl/keys/pkg.key

Generating repository catalog in /usr/ports/packages/All: |Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Any thoughts?

[Edit] It works for a while (read: the baton twirls away) before crashing out.

I had the same when doing pkg audit -qF (sometimes the first time went ok, the second time and all after that coredump). I fixed it by recompiling locally.

Thanks for the response, it helped me remember to mark this as [Solved]

There turned out to be a bug in pkg that caused crashes when meta ports were involved. A patch can be found on the freebsd-ports@ mailing list somewhere and has in fact probably already been committed by now.
