Code:
$ top
   top: incompatible rcfile, you should delete '/root/.toprc'

I had this very useful toprc since years now on most different archs and operating systems. But since this last update it doesn't work anymore.
Because of this quite unusual config syntax in toprc I can't see what's incompatible today and can't find something from the Changelog:

Masimo ...

I tested the above ~/.toprc and am not prompted with the same error.

Code:
# eix -e procps

Weird. Good to talk here before filing a bug report...
Maybe something strange with the fileencoding, though it has not been modified for a while. But it must have emerged with that update:
Code:

true

$ mv /root/.toprc.bac /root/.toprc

$ top || echo false

Perhaps those indents are tabs (use 'cat -vT'), who knows, anyhow:

BTW, 'eix -Ie' doesn't show useflags ... in case there is some difference between those posted above.

But even after retabbing with vim, replacing tabs by spaces, it stil doesn't work:

        winflags=64817, sortindx=13, maxtasks=0

        winflags=64313, sortindx=13, maxtasks=0
        summclr=3, msgsclr=3, headclr=2, taskclr=3

$ top || echo false
   top: incompatible rcfile, you should delete '/root/.toprc'
false

Masimo ...

suggestion: select the output from the 'cat -vT' from my post above, then 'rm .toprc && vim .toprc' and "*p (thats not a missing quote) .. this way it *should* be an exact copy of what works here.

I did that, still the same error. I also did revdep-rebuild, just for the case...

How about trying procps-3.3.6? And `LC_ALL=C top`?

ssuominen ... well, it works for me with 3.3.4 so it has to be something specific to Masimo's env/locale, can't think what though, but yeah, may be worth a try with 'LC_ALL=C top'.

Wow, that worked, thanks. What's wrong with my locale? But locales seem to be the issue the new update is different.
Code:
$ locale
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_TIME=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=de_DE.UTF-8

LC_PAPER=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_NAME=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_ALL=

Massimo ... my guess would be LC_COLLATE, which really should not be set to the same value as LANG=. Set it to 'C' and all should be well.

Code:
# cat /etc/env.d/02locale
# Configuration file for eselect
# This file has been automatically generated.
LANG="en_GB.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="C"

Not sure if this the correct location to define it, but it isn't wiped out when calling 'eselect locale set {N}'

If procps-3.3.6 doesn't work, please file a bug at https://bugs.gentoo.org/ with the information that C works, but UTF8.something doesn't
Remember to attach the toprc file to the bug

And it would be even better if you could report this to procps-ng upstream too, located in gitorious if I remember correctly, but Gentoo bug is a good start

Thanks
