[gentoo-user] qlist -IC x11-drivers - Segmentation fault

[Joseph]

I'm trying to update drivers after xorg-server emerge 
but this command is not recognized:

emerge -1av $(qlist -IC x11-drivers)

running: qlist -IC x11-drivers
gives me: Segmentation fault

I get :

 root:578 ~> emerge -pv $(qlist -IC x11-drivers)
   These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
   [ebuild   R    ] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-304.60  USE="X -acpi (multilib) -pax_kernel -tools" 0 kB
   [ebuild   R    ] x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.7.3  0 kB
   [ebuild   R    ] x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv-2.1.20  0 kB
   [ebuild   R    ] x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa-2.3.2  0 kB

   Total: 4 packages (4 reinstalls), Size of downloads: 0 kB

 root:579 ~> qlist -IC x11-drivers
   x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers
   x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev

Package "qlist" is part of portage-utils and current version 0.10 wasn't working for me very well.
I've upgraded to 0.20 and "qlist" is working OK.

It is recognized just fine.  "Segmentation fault" does not mean 
"unrecognized."  It means that the qlist utility is crashing.

Do you remember to run revdep-rebuild after you update packages in your 
system?
