--- Comment #8 from Patrick McMunn <doctorwho...@gmail.com> --- I finally got this thing figured out. I ran into this bug again after updating the Area 51 ports tree in question and running "portmaster -a". This time I poked around a little and found ../plasma5-kwin/work/.build/gst-plugin-scanner.core. Apparently the configure script for kwin invokes gst-plugin-scanner from the gstreamer1 package, and it had crashed for some reason. qmlplugindump's hanging behavior was a result of gst-plugin-scanner's crash. As it turns out, there is FreeBSD bug 233100 which describes how gst-plugins-* ports are not updated by portmaster, as they should be, when gstreamer1 is updated. Since the plugins were not updated, the old plugin versions were causing gst-plugin-scanner to crash. So I removed gst-plugins-bad, gst-plugins-good, and gst-plugins-ugly. After that, plasma5-kwin configured, compiled, and installed without any further problem. I don't know why kwin is invoking gst-plugin-scanner (gstreamer isn't a dependency of kwin, is it?), but gstreamer1 was the cause all along. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
