Johannes, do you have imaging emerged? emerge -pv imaging

Cannot replicate here.

That crash is deep in Python, and while that's very far from proof that there's nothing wrong in Scribus or the scripter, I'm disinlined to stress unless someone on another machine can reproduce it.

You asked about a crash similar to this one on IRC recently. Is this the same thing? If so, did rebuilding Tkinter, Python, Scribus, tk, PIL (python imaging library), and anyting else related like you were trying at the time resolve the issue?

As for python-imaging, if it's not installed the script should fall back gracefully. A crash is not OK. If, however, it is broken, or Python has been rebuilt (new flags, different version, etc) but PIL or Tkinter have not, Python may be unable to return an import failure error but may instead crash. That generally implies that the distro's dependency tracking has failed to determine what needs rebuilding.

Meanwhile Johannes, please run a revdep-rebuild -pv, check the results and if u agree, run without the -pv. Look on Gentoo sites if you dont know about revdep-rebuild.

I have run the script many hundreds of times and never seen this happen. Thats not to say there is not an issue there somewhere.

Likewise, I use this script dozens of times to stress test Scribus and only once did it trigger a crash, which was fixed in Scribus 1.3.0
