Greetings everyone, glad to finally be part of the club.
I've setup neomutt with Gmail successfully but iSync is giving me pains.
I've enabled all use flags :

net-mail/isync berkdb sasl ssl zlib

Setup .mbsyncrc as follows : https://bpa.st/FCFQ

and my isync.gpg as follows : https://bpa.st/LRFA

All of these were the result of following the following article :

https://seniormars.com/posts/neomutt/#isync

It worked for me when I was on Fedora, and I had no segfaults or
whatever on there (though isync was a bit of a pain to setup there as
well).

With all this in mind, here's the output in full :

[N] ficonni@tux ~> mbsync -a
C: 0/1  B: 0/0  F: +0/0 *0/0 #0/0  N: +0/0 *0/0 #0/0fish: Job 1, 'mbsync -a' terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)

Doing the same in bash will result in :


ficonni@tux ~ $ mbsync -a
C: 0/1  B: 0/0  F: +0/0 *0/0 #0/0  N: +0/0 *0/0 #0/0Segmentation fault

I've also double-checked if ~/.local/share/email/ficonni exists, and it
does.

I've tried searching for similar issues online but found nothing. 

I've also contacted #gentoo but they agreed this was only a segfault and
that my configs were good. It would need debugging they said but  I didn't have the time to work on it anymore
then and the issue still stands so here I am.

Any help please ?

This kind of error occurs when a program is trying to access memory space not 
allocated to it.

Sadly without a backtrace to indicate which software makes a call to 
unallocated memory space, it is difficult to guess what causes the problem and 
how to fix it.

You could take a look here for more information on debugging such faults, when 
you have more time:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GDB
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Backtraces
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Valgrind

If your problem is caused by a frequently encountered bug, you'll find it is 
fixed sooner or later.  Otherwise, for some edge case you may have come 
across, you'll have to submit a bug report with necessary debugging 
information.

PS. I recall wget causing segfaults when built against some version of glibc, 
which was patched soon after a bug report.  When such errors are widespread 
and bug reports by users arrive thick and fast, a patch or workaround soon 
arrives.
