Date triggered?
Curiously the "Aborted" line is different on both machines (on my desktop it prints a copy of the command, on the remote VPS it does not).
was also reported in #637
jui 06 17:36:06 <duncaen> abby: https://github.com/void-linux/xbps/blob/master/bin/xbps-query/search.c#L260
jui 06 17:36:12 <duncaen> they are kinda right that it fails to free
jui 06 17:36:25 <duncaen> there is a very subtle bug but not what they reported
jui 06 17:36:53 <duncaen> maybe not very subtle, just an issue
jui 06 17:37:35 <duncaen> no idea why that would crash for them

that message comes from the shell
