Same with no_python. But if you want to see those missing packages in 5.7 release, start by sending information about the bash crash, preferably to ports@ rather than misc. A backtrace would be a good start (especially from a copy of bash built with debug symbols: clean, then "make package DEBUG=-g", reducing the script that triggers the problem to a simplified test case would be even better.
